At Atlas Shipping Container, we are committed to maintaining full transparency with our customers, including how we handle sales tax. This Sales Tax Policy explains when and where sales tax is applied to your purchases and how it may affect your total cost.
Atlas Shipping Container is required by law to collect sales tax on orders shipped to states and jurisdictions where we have a physical presence, business operations, or are otherwise legally obligated to do so. Sales tax rates are determined by the shipping destination and are calculated based on the applicable state and local tax laws.
If your order is being delivered to a taxable location, sales tax will be automatically calculated and included in your order total during the checkout process. The tax rate is based on the delivery address provided at the time of purchase.
If you are a government agency, reseller, nonprofit organization, or otherwise qualify for tax-exempt status, you must provide a valid and up-to-date resale or exemption certificate before placing your order. Exemption certificates must be approved by our compliance team before any tax can be removed from your invoice.
Please email your documentation to info@atlasshippingcontainer.com or contact our customer service team for assistance. Once verified, your account will be flagged as tax-exempt for future purchases.
Because sales tax laws are governed at the state and local level, tax rates may change at any time without notice. Atlas Shipping Container will apply the current, legally required rate at the time your order is processed.
In many jurisdictions, sales tax may also apply to shipping, freight, and handling charges. Whether these charges are taxable depends on the laws of the delivery location. These charges, if taxable, will be included in the tax total during checkout.
It is the customer’s responsibility to comply with all applicable tax laws in their state or jurisdiction. If sales tax was not collected at the time of purchase and is later determined to be due, the customer is responsible for reporting and remitting the correct amount to their local tax authority.
