Sales Tax Policy
This Sales Tax Policy explains how sales tax is applied to purchases made through Blue Line Containers within the United States.
Because our products involve shipping containers, modified containers, storage units, offices, trailers, and other heavy equipment requiring freight delivery, sales tax treatment may vary depending on delivery location, customer status, and applicable state and local tax regulations.
When Sales Tax Is Collected
Sales tax is collected only where required under applicable United States federal, state, county, and local tax laws.
Blue Line Containers collects and remits sales tax in jurisdictions where we have a legal obligation to do so, including situations involving:
- Physical business presence
- Warehouses or operational facilities
- Economic nexus thresholds
- State-specific sales tax registration requirements
Sales tax is generally determined based on the delivery address rather than the billing address.
States Where Sales Tax May Apply
As a Florida-based company, Blue Line Containers may collect sales tax on taxable transactions delivered within Florida unless a valid exemption applies.
For deliveries to other states, sales tax obligations may apply depending on:
- State nexus requirements
- Product taxability classifications
- Economic thresholds established by state law
- Customer exemption status
Because tax laws frequently change, sales tax treatment may vary by jurisdiction.
Tax Calculation & Invoice Disclosure
Applicable sales tax is calculated automatically during checkout or included on the official sales invoice.
Customers will see:
- Product pricing
- Freight or delivery charges
- Applicable sales tax
- Total amount due
Sales tax is displayed separately whenever required by law.
Blue Line Containers does not apply hidden taxes or post-purchase tax adjustments.
Tax-Exempt Purchases
Certain purchasers may qualify for exemption from sales tax, including but not limited to:
- Resellers
- Government agencies
- Educational institutions
- Non-profit organizations
- Agricultural operations
- Other legally exempt entities
To qualify for exemption:
- A valid state-issued exemption certificate must be submitted before payment is completed.
- Documentation must be reviewed and approved by our accounting department.
- Exemption status must comply with the laws of the delivery jurisdiction.
If exemption documentation is not submitted before payment, applicable sales tax may be charged.
Product Taxability
Tax treatment may vary depending on:
- Product category
- Intended use
- State regulations
- Local tax requirements
Products sold by Blue Line Containers, including shipping containers, storage containers, office containers, modified units, trailers, accessories, and related equipment, are generally considered taxable tangible personal property in many jurisdictions.
Certain exemptions or reduced tax rates may apply where permitted by law.
Freight & Delivery Charges
Freight, transportation, and delivery charges may be taxable or non-taxable depending on the laws of the destination state.
Where required by law:
- Sales tax may be applied to freight charges.
- Taxable delivery charges will be clearly disclosed on the invoice.
- Freight tax treatment will comply with applicable state regulations.
Customer Responsibilities
Customers are responsible for:
- Providing accurate delivery information.
- Providing accurate billing information.
- Supplying valid exemption certificates when applicable.
- Reviewing invoices prior to payment.
Failure to provide accurate information may result in incorrect tax calculations or delayed processing.
Tax Law Changes
Sales tax regulations change frequently.
Blue Line Containers reserves the right to:
- Modify tax collection procedures.
- Update tax rates.
- Adjust tax treatment as required by federal, state, or local law.
Any changes will become effective immediately upon publication of an updated policy.
Limitation of Liability
Blue Line Containers makes every reasonable effort to calculate and collect the correct amount of sales tax.
However, we cannot guarantee against:
- Legislative changes
- Tax authority adjustments
- Jurisdictional interpretation differences
- Customer-provided information errors
