This Sales Tax Policy explains how sales tax may apply to purchases of shipping containers, storage containers, refrigerated containers, modular buildings, container offices, container accessories, and other products sold through our website.

We may be required to collect and remit sales tax based on:

  • Modified Shipping Containers

  • Modular Buildings

may be subject to different tax requirements depending on their location.
