Sales Tax Policy (Texas)

This Sales Tax Policy explains how sales and use tax is handled for purchases made from our business located at 4936 Sharp St, Dallas, TX 75247, USA. It is intended to comply with applicable Texas state and local tax laws and the requirements of our payment processors and merchant partners.[1][3]

1. Taxable Location

Our primary place of business for sales tax purposes is our facility at 4936 Sharp St, Dallas, TX 75247, USA. For orders picked up at this location, the applicable Texas state and local sales tax rate in effect for the Dallas, Texas jurisdiction at the time of sale will be applied to the taxable portion of your order.[3][8]

2. Applicable Sales and Use Tax

Texas imposes a state sales and use tax of 6.25% on most retail sales, leases, and rentals of tangible personal property, including trailers and shipping containers, as well as certain taxable services. Local taxing jurisdictions (such as cities, counties, special purpose districts, and transit authorities) may impose additional sales and use tax of up to 2%, for a maximum combined rate of 8.25%. The combined rate that applies to your order will depend on the delivery or pickup location as required by Texas law.[1][3]

3. When We Collect Sales Tax

We collect Texas sales tax on taxable sales when we are required to do so under Texas law, including when: (a) the sale is made at or shipped from our Dallas, Texas location to a customer in Texas, or (b) we otherwise have tax collection obligations in Texas for that transaction. If sales tax is due and not collected at checkout (for example, in certain offline or specially invoiced transactions), you may be responsible for reporting and paying any applicable use tax directly to the Texas Comptroller or your local taxing authority.[3][1]

4. Tax Calculation at Checkout

Sales tax is calculated at checkout based on the shipping address, pickup location, or other location-based rules that apply under Texas law and our payment processor’s tax tools. The tax amount shown at checkout is an estimate based on the information you provide. If your order details change (including delivery location, items, or exemptions), the final tax amount charged may be adjusted at the time of invoicing or payment capture in accordance with applicable law.[1][3]

5. Taxable and Exempt Items

In general, sales of trailers, shipping containers, related parts, and most accessories are taxable in Texas. Certain charges, such as separately stated delivery, installation, or service fees, may be taxable or non-taxable depending on Texas rules and how the transaction is structured. Some customers or transactions may qualify for exemption (for example, valid resale, qualifying governmental or nonprofit entities, or other exemptions recognized under Texas law), provided we receive and approve proper documentation before or at the time of sale.[3][1]

6. Exemption Certificates

If you are purchasing for resale or otherwise claim an exemption from Texas sales and use tax, you must provide a properly completed and signed exemption or resale certificate acceptable to the Texas Comptroller before we finalize the transaction. We reserve the right to reject or request updated documentation if a certificate is incomplete, expired, or inconsistent with the nature of the purchase. If we do not have a valid exemption certificate on file at the time of sale, we are required to collect applicable tax.[1][3]

7. Out-of-State and Remote Sales

For orders shipped outside Texas, we will follow applicable tax laws and our merchant processor’s policies for the destination jurisdiction. Depending on your shipping address and our tax obligations in that jurisdiction, sales tax may or may not be collected at checkout. If tax is not collected but is legally due where you receive the products, you are responsible for reporting and paying any required use tax to your state or local tax authority.[9][1]

8. Tax on Shipping, Handling, and Fees

Under Texas law, certain shipping, handling, and related charges associated with taxable sales may also be subject to sales and use tax. Where required, tax will be applied to these charges based on the same location and rate used for the underlying taxable items. If all items on an order are non-taxable or exempt, related shipping or handling may also be treated as non-taxable, consistent with Texas rules.[3][1]

9. Refunds, Returns, and Tax Adjustments

If you receive a refund or return an item in accordance with our Return & Refund Policy, any sales tax collected on the returned item will be refunded to you to the extent required by law. If only part of an order is returned or if price adjustments are made after the sale, the related sales tax will be adjusted proportionally in line with the original transaction and applicable rules.[3]

10. Recordkeeping and Compliance

We maintain records of taxable and exempt sales, exemption certificates, and tax collected in order to comply with Texas sales and use tax laws and the policies of our payment processors. By completing a purchase, you acknowledge that we may retain and use your transaction information for tax reporting, audits, and compliance as required by law.[7][3]

11. Changes to This Sales Tax Policy

Sales and use tax rates and rules may change due to updates in Texas law, local tax changes, or merchant and processor requirements. We may update this Sales Tax Policy at any time to reflect such changes. Any updates will be effective when posted on our website or otherwise communicated, and your continued use of our services or completion of purchases after such updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.[6][7]

12. Contact Information

If you have questions about how sales tax is applied to your order, exemptions, or this Sales Tax Policy, please contact us before completing your purchase so we can help clarify how tax will be handled for your transaction. You may also wish to consult your tax advisor or the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for guidance on your specific situation.[3]
