2. Tax Calculation
When applicable, sales tax is calculated based on the total purchase price, including any taxable modifications or services bundled with the order.
- Sales tax is added to the final invoice
- Tax must be paid in full prior to delivery or pickup
- Cargo Container Supply does not absorb sales tax costs on behalf of customers
