Sales Tax Policy
Last Updated: July 26, 2026
We are committed to transparency and compliance with applicable state and local tax regulations. This Sales Tax Policy explains how sales tax is applied to purchases of shipping containers and related products through our website.
Because shipping containers are delivered physical products, applicable sales tax may vary depending on the customer’s delivery location, local tax requirements, and applicable exemptions.
1. Sales Tax Collection
Vault Containers Hub collects sales tax on orders where required by applicable federal, state, and local laws.
Sales tax requirements are generally determined by factors such as:
- The delivery location of the container
- Applicable state and local tax regulations
- Whether Vault Containers Hub has a sales tax obligation in that jurisdiction
- Customer exemption status, if applicable
The applicable sales tax amount will be calculated based on the delivery address provided during the purchasing process.
2. How Sales Tax Is Calculated
Sales tax is typically calculated using the destination of the shipment rather than the customer’s billing address.
The final tax amount may include:
- State sales tax
- County taxes
- City or local jurisdiction taxes
- Other applicable taxes required by law
Tax rates vary by location and may change based on updates to state and local regulations.
The applicable sales tax will be shown on your order documentation or invoice when required.
3. Tax on Shipping and Delivery Charges
Depending on the laws of the delivery jurisdiction, shipping, transportation, handling, or related delivery charges may be subject to sales tax.
If applicable, taxes on delivery-related charges will be calculated according to the requirements of the state where the container is delivered.
4. Tax-Exempt Purchases
Certain customers may qualify for sales tax exemption depending on applicable laws.
Examples may include:
- Qualified organizations
- Government entities
- Eligible businesses purchasing for resale
To request tax-exempt status, customers must provide valid exemption documentation before completing their purchase.
Vault Containers Hub reserves the right to verify exemption certificates and documentation before removing applicable sales tax charges.
5. Resale Certificates
Businesses purchasing containers for resale may be required to provide a valid resale certificate or other approved exemption documentation.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that all submitted tax exemption documents are accurate, current, and legally valid.
Failure to provide required documentation may result in applicable sales tax being charged.
6. Customer Responsibility
Customers are responsible for providing accurate delivery information, including:
- Correct shipping address
- Delivery location details
- Any required tax exemption documentation
Customers may be responsible for additional taxes, fees, or obligations required by their state or local tax authority if applicable.
7. Changes to Sales Tax Requirements
Sales tax laws and regulations may change over time. Vault Containers Hub regularly reviews applicable requirements and updates its tax practices when necessary.
Changes in tax rates, taxability rules, or regulatory requirements may affect future purchases.
