Sales Tax Policy
Effective Date: October 1, 2026
First Choice Shipping Containers (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to handling sales tax in accordance with applicable U.S. federal, state, and local requirements. This Sales Tax Policy explains how sales tax may apply to purchases made through www.firstchoiceshippingcontainers.com.
1. When Sales Tax Applies
Sales tax may apply to an order based on the delivery address and the tax rules that apply in that location.
We may collect sales tax in jurisdictions where we are required to do so, including where applicable based on:
Our physical presence or business activities in a state.
Applicable economic nexus requirements.
State and local sales tax laws.
Marketplace facilitator requirements when applicable.
The applicable tax amount may vary depending on the delivery location and the products or services included in an order.
2. Sales Tax Collection
Physical Presence
We may be required to collect sales tax in states where we have a physical business presence, such as an office, yard, facility, or other qualifying location.
Economic Nexus
Some states require businesses to collect sales tax when their sales or transaction volume exceeds specific thresholds established under state law.
Where applicable, we may collect sales tax based on these requirements.
Marketplace Facilitators
If a purchase is completed through a third-party marketplace, the marketplace may be responsible for calculating, collecting, and remitting applicable sales tax under marketplace facilitator laws.
3. How Sales Tax Is Calculated
When applicable, sales tax is generally calculated using the destination of the order and the tax rules that apply to the transaction.
The amount may depend on factors such as:
Product or order value.
Shipping or delivery charges where taxable.
Applicable state and local tax rates.
The delivery address.
Any applicable exemptions.
Sales tax rates and requirements may change as state and local laws are updated.
4. Tax-Exempt Purchases
Certain customers or transactions may qualify for a sales tax exemption under applicable law.
Examples may include:
Qualifying resale purchases.
Eligible tax-exempt organisations.
Other transactions that qualify for an exemption under applicable state or local requirements.
If you believe your purchase qualifies for an exemption, you may be required to provide valid and complete exemption documentation before the order is processed or before tax is charged.
Acceptable documentation may include a valid resale certificate or other applicable exemption certificate.
5. Sales Tax Reporting and Remittance
When we are required to collect sales tax, we are responsible for reporting and remitting the collected tax to the applicable state or local tax authorities in accordance with their requirements.
6. Customer Tax Responsibilities
If sales tax is not collected on a particular transaction, the customer may have a separate use tax or other tax obligation under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction.
Customers are responsible for determining whether they have any tax reporting or payment obligations when sales tax is not collected at checkout.
7. Tax Information at Checkout
Where applicable, estimated sales tax will be displayed during the checkout process or otherwise communicated before the order is completed.
The final tax amount may depend on the delivery address, applicable tax rules, and any valid exemption documentation provided.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Sales Tax Policy when necessary to reflect changes in applicable tax laws, regulations, business operations, or sales tax requirements.
When this policy is updated, we will revise the Effective Date shown at the top of this page.
