Sales Tax Policy

Last Updated: August 25, 2026

This Sales Tax Policy explains how applicable sales tax may be calculated and collected on purchases made from Northbridge Containers in the United States.

The product price, applicable shipping or delivery charges, sales tax where required, and total amount due will be presented during checkout, on an official invoice, or through another applicable order process before payment is completed.

1. When Sales Tax Is Collected

Northbridge Containers collects sales tax where required under applicable United States federal, state, and local tax laws.

Our obligation to collect sales tax may depend on factors such as:

  • Physical business presence
  • Inventory or warehouse locations
  • Offices or other operational facilities
  • Applicable economic nexus requirements
  • Transaction volume or revenue thresholds
  • State and local tax laws
  • Product classification
  • Delivery destination

Sales tax obligations can vary by jurisdiction and may change as applicable laws or business operations change.

2. How Sales Tax Is Calculated

Where sales tax applies, the amount may be calculated based on factors including:

  • The delivery destination
  • Applicable state and local tax rates
  • Product classification
  • The taxable status of shipping or delivery charges
  • Customer exemption status
  • Applicable laws and regulations

The applicable tax amount will be displayed or communicated before payment is completed.

Customers should review their order summary or invoice carefully before submitting payment.

3. States Where Sales Tax May Apply

Sales tax may apply to taxable purchases delivered to jurisdictions where Northbridge Containers is legally required to collect and remit tax.

The applicable tax treatment may depend on:

  • The state where the product is delivered
  • Local tax requirements
  • Whether the transaction is taxable
  • The type of product purchased
  • Whether the customer qualifies for a valid exemption

Northbridge Containers may update its tax collection practices when required by changes in applicable law, business operations, or tax registration requirements.

We do not guarantee that a transaction will be tax-free unless a valid exemption applies and the required documentation has been accepted.

4. Sales Tax Display

Where applicable, sales tax will be calculated and displayed separately from the product price unless otherwise required by law.

Before completing an order, customers should be able to review the applicable:

  • Product price
  • Quantity
  • Shipping or delivery charges, where applicable
  • Sales tax
  • Other clearly disclosed charges
  • Total amount due

If an order requires review because of a correction to the delivery address, product selection, exemption status, or other material information, the order total may need to be updated before payment or fulfillment.

5. Tax-Exempt Purchases

Certain customers may qualify for a sales tax exemption where permitted by applicable law.

Potentially eligible purchasers may include:

  • Qualified resellers
  • Government agencies
  • Eligible nonprofit organizations
  • Other purchasers that qualify for an exemption under applicable law

To request tax-exempt treatment, customers may be required to provide valid documentation before payment or order completion.

Required documentation may include an applicable:

  • State-issued exemption certificate
  • Resale certificate
  • Government exemption documentation
  • Other legally accepted tax-exemption documentation

The documentation must be valid for the customer, transaction, and applicable jurisdiction.

Northbridge Containers may review or verify submitted documentation before applying an exemption.

If valid documentation is not provided when required, applicable sales tax may be charged.

6. Taxability of Products

The sales tax treatment of shipping containers and related products may vary depending on applicable law.

Tax treatment may depend on:

  • The type of container or product
  • Whether the product is new or used
  • Product modifications or customization
  • The intended use, where legally relevant
  • Customer exemption status
  • The delivery destination
  • Applicable state and local tax rules

Shipping containers, accessories, and related equipment may be treated as taxable tangible personal property in some jurisdictions.

Modified containers, specialty equipment, or custom products may have different tax treatment depending on applicable law.

7. Shipping and Delivery Charges

Shipping and delivery charges may be taxable in certain jurisdictions.

Whether tax applies to a shipping or delivery charge can depend on:

  • State and local tax laws
  • How the charge is structured or stated
  • The type of product being purchased
  • The delivery arrangement
  • Other applicable transaction details

Any applicable shipping, delivery, or handling charges will be disclosed before the order is finalized.

Customers should review the Shipping & Delivery Policy, product page, checkout summary, or official invoice for the applicable delivery charges and terms.

8. Changes to Delivery Information

Sales tax may change if the delivery destination changes.

If a customer requests a change to the delivery address, the order may need to be reviewed and the applicable tax calculation updated before the order is processed or dispatched.

Customers are responsible for providing accurate:

  • Billing information
  • Delivery addresses
  • Tax-exemption information
  • Supporting documentation, where applicable

Incorrect or incomplete information may delay order processing or require an updated invoice.

9. Customer Responsibilities

Customers requesting a tax exemption are responsible for providing accurate and valid documentation.

Customers should:

  • Review their order summary before payment
  • Confirm that their delivery address is correct
  • Review applicable sales tax charges
  • Submit exemption documentation when required
