Sales Tax Policy
Effective date: August 7, 2026
AO Container Lines Inc. calculates applicable sales or use tax according to the transaction and available tax information.
Tax calculation may depend on:
- Delivery address
- Pickup location
- Product type
- Customer location
- Applicable state and local rates
- Exemption documentation
- Transaction structure
Tax-exempt or resale purchases
A customer requesting tax-exempt treatment must provide valid documentation before the order is completed.
Submitting a certificate does not automatically guarantee acceptance. AO Container Lines Inc. may verify the documentation and request additional information.
A tax exemption generally cannot be applied retroactively after a transaction has been completed unless legally permitted and operationally available.
Customer responsibility
Customers remain responsible for taxes, use taxes, duties, assessments, or reporting obligations not collected by AO Container Lines Inc. when such obligations apply to them.
Pricing display
Product prices should clearly indicate whether tax is included or calculated separately.
Applicable taxes must be shown before the customer authorizes payment.
