Effective Date: June 23, 2025

First Choice Shipping Containers (“we,” “us,” “our”) is committed to complying with all applicable state and local tax laws in the United States. This Sales Tax Policy explains our responsibilities regarding the collection, reporting, and remittance of sales tax for purchases made through our website, www.firstchoiceshippingcontainers.com.

1. Applicability

Sales tax is applied to customer orders based on the shipping address and the tax laws applicable in that jurisdiction. We collect sales tax in states where we have a legal obligation, including:

  • A physical presence in the state

  • Meeting an economic nexus threshold

  • Sales through platforms governed by marketplace facilitator laws

2. Sales Tax Collection

a. Physical Presence

We collect sales tax in states where we maintain a physical presence, such as offices, yards, or service locations.

b. Economic Nexus

Sales tax is also collected in states where our total sales or number of transactions exceed state-mandated thresholds, as defined by state law.

c. Marketplace Facilitator Laws

If our products are sold through third-party marketplaces, those marketplaces may be required to collect and remit tax on our behalf, depending on the state.

3. Calculation of Sales Tax

Sales tax is calculated based on:

  • The total value of the order, including shipping and handling, where applicable

  • The combined local and state tax rate for the destination location

Tax rates are determined by local laws and are subject to change.

4. Exemptions

Certain purchases may qualify for exemption, including:

  • Items purchased for resale

  • Orders placed by tax-exempt organizations

  • Deliveries to non-taxable jurisdictions

To receive a tax exemption, you must provide valid and complete exemption documentation (e.g., resale or exemption certificates) before completing your purchase.

5. Reporting and Remittance

We are responsible for reporting and remitting all collected sales tax to the appropriate state and local tax agencies, in accordance with their filing schedules and requirements.

6. Customer Responsibilities

Customers are responsible for:

  • Understanding and fulfilling their use tax obligations for orders where sales tax is not collected at checkout

  • Reporting such purchases to their state tax authority if required

7. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Sales Tax Policy at any time due to:

  • Changes in state or local tax laws

  • Updates to our business structure or sales operations

All updates will be posted here with a revised “Effective Date.”
