Effective Date: July 29, 2026
Moving Shipping Containers is committed to transparent pricing and compliance with applicable U.S. state and local tax requirements. This Sales Tax Policy explains how sales and use taxes may apply to purchases of shipping containers, related equipment, and services purchased through Moving Shipping Containers.
Because tax requirements vary by state, locality, product type, delivery location, and customer status, the amount of tax charged on an order may differ from one transaction to another.
This policy is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal or tax advice. Customers should consult a qualified tax professional regarding their individual tax obligations.
1. When Sales Tax Is Collected
Moving Shipping Containers collects sales tax when required by applicable state and local law.
Sales tax collection obligations may arise based on factors including:
Physical presence or other business activities in a state
Inventory or facilities located within a state
Economic nexus requirements based on sales or transaction thresholds
Applicable state and local tax laws
The taxability of the products or services sold
For taxable transactions, the applicable sales tax is generally determined based on the delivery or other legally relevant location of the transaction, as required by applicable law.
Moving Shipping Containers may update its tax collection practices as state and local requirements change.
2. Texas Sales Tax
Moving Shipping Containers operates from Texas.
For taxable sales delivered within Texas, applicable Texas state and local sales taxes may be collected unless the transaction qualifies for a valid exemption under Texas law.
The applicable tax rate may depend on the delivery location and the tax rules in effect at the time of the transaction.
Customers claiming a Texas sales tax exemption must provide valid exemption documentation before payment is completed and before the tax is removed from the transaction.
3. Sales to Other States
For orders delivered outside Texas, sales tax may apply depending on Moving Shipping Containers’ tax obligations in the destination state and the applicable laws of that jurisdiction.
Factors that may affect whether tax is collected include:
Whether Moving Shipping Containers has a sales tax obligation or nexus in the destination state
State-specific economic nexus thresholds
The taxability of the product or service
The delivery location
Applicable state and local tax requirements
If Moving Shipping Containers is not required to collect sales tax on a particular transaction, the customer may still have an obligation to report and pay use tax or another applicable tax directly to the relevant taxing authority.
4. Tax Calculation and Order Documentation
When sales tax is required, the applicable amount will be calculated based on the tax rules applicable to the transaction.
Depending on the order process, applicable sales tax may be:
Displayed during the online checkout process; or
Listed separately on the official order confirmation or invoice.
Tax amounts may vary based on the customer’s delivery address, applicable tax jurisdiction, product classification, and other legally relevant factors.
Any applicable sales tax must be paid in accordance with the payment terms stated on the customer’s order or invoice.
5. Tax-Exempt Purchases
Certain customers or transactions may qualify for sales tax exemption under applicable law.
Potentially exempt transactions may include, where legally permitted:
Qualifying resale purchases
Certain government purchases
Qualifying nonprofit organizations
Certain agricultural purchases
Certain manufacturing or industrial purchases
Other transactions specifically exempt under applicable state or local law
Tax exemption is not automatic and depends on the laws of the applicable jurisdiction.
Customers requesting tax-exempt treatment are responsible for providing valid exemption documentation, such as a properly completed state-approved exemption or resale certificate, before payment is completed whenever required.
Moving Shipping Containers may review exemption documentation before applying tax-exempt treatment.
If required exemption documentation is not provided or is determined to be invalid, applicable sales tax may be charged.
6. Product Taxability
The taxability of a transaction may depend on the type of product or service purchased and the laws applicable to the delivery location.
Products and services offered by Moving Shipping Containers may include:
Shipping containers
Used and new containers
Modified or customized containers
Container-related equipment and accessories
Delivery and transportation services
Customization or fabrication services
Tax treatment may differ depending on the specific product, service, intended use, and applicable state and local tax rules.
Customers should not assume that a product is tax-exempt solely because of its intended use. Any exemption must be supported by applicable law and valid documentation when required.
7. Freight, Shipping, and Delivery Charges
The taxability of freight, transportation, shipping, delivery, handling, and related charges varies by jurisdiction.
Where applicable law requires these charges to be included in the taxable sales price, Moving Shipping Containers may collect sales tax on those amounts.
Where applicable law excludes certain delivery or transportation charges from the taxable sales price, the charges may be treated accordingly.
The tax treatment of delivery and freight charges will be determined based on the applicable tax rules for the transaction.
8. Customer Responsibility
Customers are responsible for providing accurate information needed to determine the correct tax treatment of an order, including:
Accurate billing information
Accurate delivery information
Valid exemption documentation, where applicable
Accurate business or resale information when claiming an exemption
Customers are responsible for notifying Moving Shipping Containers if information affecting the tax treatment of an order changes before the transaction is completed.
9. Use Tax
In certain circumstances, a customer may be responsible for paying use tax even when sales tax was not collected at the time of purchase.
For example, if Moving Shipping Containers is not legally required to collect sales tax on a transaction, the customer may nevertheless have a use-tax obligation in the state where the product is delivered, stored, or used.
Customers are responsible for determining whether they have a use-tax or other tax obligation and for reporting and paying any required amount to the appropriate taxing authority.
Moving Shipping Containers does not provide individual tax advice and recommends that customers consult a qualified tax professional regarding their specific circumstances.
10. Tax Rate Changes and Corrections
Sales and use tax laws and rates may change over time.
If a tax rate, tax rule, product classification, delivery location, or other legally relevant factor changes before an order is finalized, the tax amount may be adjusted to comply with applicable law.
If an error is identified in the tax treatment of an order, Moving Shipping Containers may correct the tax amount as permitted or required by applicable law.
11. Tax Exemption Documentation
Customers seeking tax-exempt treatment must provide all required documentation within the applicable timeframe.
Moving Shipping Containers may decline to apply an exemption when:
Required documentation has not been provided
Documentation is incomplete
Documentation has expired
The exemption does not apply to the specific transaction
The exemption cannot be verified
Customers are responsible for ensuring that exemption certificates and related documentation are accurate and valid.
