Residents in some states must pay applicable sales tax for certain types of products. In these cases, Sales Tax is charged on shipments to jurisdictions where sales tax is applicable. The taxability of a particular item is determined by the guidelines set forth by the jurisdiction the item is shipped to. Items sent to APO / FPO/ PPO military addresses are not subject to taxes. The amount of tax charged is based on current tax rates. Shipping charges may also be subject to tax in applicable states.
