Effective Date: June 16, 2026
At Moving Shipping Containers, we are committed to transparency and compliance with U.S. tax laws. This Sales Tax Policy explains how sales tax is applied to purchases made through our company within the United States.
Because our products involve high-value equipment and freight delivery, sales tax treatment depends on delivery location, buyer status, and applicable state regulations.
When Sales Tax Is Collected
Sales tax is applied only where legally required under U.S. state and local tax laws.
Moving Shipping Containers collects sales tax in states where we have sales tax nexus, which may include:
Physical presence (such as offices, warehouses, or operational facilities)
Economic nexus thresholds based on transaction volume or revenue
Sales tax, when applicable, is calculated based on the delivery address, not the billing address.
States Where Sales Tax May Apply
As a Texas-based company with operational facilities in Texas:
Texas sales tax is generally applied to taxable transactions delivered within the state, unless a valid exemption applies.
For deliveries to other U.S. states, sales tax may apply depending on:
State-specific nexus rules
Product taxability classifications
Transaction thresholds
We continuously monitor state tax obligations to remain compliant.
Tax Calculation & Checkout Display
Applicable sales tax is calculated automatically at checkout or reflected on the official invoice.
Tax is displayed clearly and separately from product price and shipping charges.
No hidden or post-checkout tax adjustments are applied.
This ensures transparency for both customers and compliance platforms.
Sales tax is calculated based on the total purchase price, including any taxable modifications, delivery, or shipping charges where required by law. Sales tax must be paid in full prior to delivery or pickup. Moving Shipping Containers does not absorb sales tax costs on behalf of customers.
Tax rates may vary by location and are subject to change.
Tax-Exempt Purchases
Certain buyers may qualify for sales tax exemption, including but not limited to:
Resellers
Government agencies
Non-profit organizations
Agricultural or industrial exemptions (where applicable)
Requirements for exemption:
A valid, state-approved sales tax exemption certificate
Certificate must be submitted before payment is completed
Certificates are reviewed and verified prior to tax removal
If valid documentation is not provided in advance, sales tax will be charged and cannot be retroactively removed. Orders will be processed without tax only after documentation has been reviewed and approved.
Product Taxability Clarification
Sales tax applicability may vary depending on:
Product category (e.g., containers, trailers, accessories)
Intended use
State-specific tax classifications for tangible personal property
Shipping containers, trailers, and related equipment are generally considered taxable tangible goods in many jurisdictions, but exemptions or reduced rates may apply in specific cases.
Freight & Delivery Charges
Shipping and freight charges may be taxable or non-taxable depending on state law.
Where required, tax is applied to delivery charges in compliance with local regulations.
Tax treatment of freight is disclosed clearly on the invoice.
Customer Responsibility & Accuracy
Customers are responsible for:
Providing accurate delivery information
Submitting valid exemption documentation where applicable
Complying with any applicable local tax obligations, including use tax where required
We make every effort to ensure tax accuracy; however, tax laws are subject to change. Moving Shipping Containers reserves the right to adjust tax collection practices to remain compliant with evolving regulations.
Use Tax
If sales tax is not charged at the time of sale, customers may still be required to report and remit applicable use tax to the relevant taxing authority. Moving Shipping Containers does not provide tax advice; we recommend consulting a qualified tax professional if needed.

Moving Shipping Containers reserves the right to update this Sales Tax Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on our website with an updated effective date.
