Sales Tax Policy
AMG Shipping Container believes in clear, upfront pricing — including how sales tax is calculated on your order. This policy covers when tax applies, how it's calculated, and how tax-exempt buyers can qualify for an exemption.
How Sales Tax Is Calculated
At checkout, our system automatically calculates the applicable sales tax based on the delivery address you provide. The tax amount is shown clearly on the order summary before you submit payment — nothing is added afterward, and there are no hidden tax charges.
Tax rates are set by state and local governments and can vary depending on where your container is being delivered.
Where We Collect Sales Tax
We collect and remit sales tax on orders shipped to states where we're required to do so by law. This is generally determined by where our business is registered, where we operate, and each state's own tax rules.
States where we currently collect sales tax: Georgia,Vermont,Wisconsin,Utah,Illinois
If your delivery address falls outside these states, sales tax will not be charged on your order at checkout. Depending on where you live, you may still be personally responsible for reporting and paying use tax directly to your state — that determination is outside our control and up to your local tax authority.
Requesting a Tax Exemption
Businesses, resellers, and tax-exempt organizations may qualify to have sales tax waived on a purchase. To be considered:
- Contact us before placing your order — exemptions cannot be applied retroactively after checkout
- Provide a valid, current exemption certificate for the state where your container will be delivered
- Wait for our confirmation before completing your purchase
Orders placed without an approved exemption on file will be taxed at the standard applicable rate.
Tax on Delivery & Related Charges
In some states, sales tax law requires tax to be applied to delivery and handling fees in addition to the container price itself. Where that applies, it will already be factored into the total shown at checkout.
Where We Deliver
We currently sell and deliver within the United States. See our Shipping & Delivery Policy for full details on delivery coverage and requirements.
Changes to Tax Rates & Laws
Sales tax rates and rules are set by state and local governments and can change without notice. We update our checkout calculations to stay current with these changes, so the rate you're quoted at checkout will always reflect what's currently in effect.
