Sales Tax Policy
Last Updated: 30-01-2026
At Universal Containers LLC, we are committed to transparency and compliance with U.S. tax laws. This Sales Tax Policy explains how sales tax is applied to purchases made through our company.
1. Sales Tax Applicability
Sales tax may apply to purchases of containers and related services when required by U.S. federal, state, or local laws. The tax is generally calculated based on:
The type of product purchased (new, used, modified, or specialized containers)
The location where the product is delivered or ownership is transferred
Before completing your purchase, applicable sales tax will be clearly displayed on your invoice or checkout screen.
2. Tax Calculation
When applicable, sales tax is calculated based on the total purchase price, including any taxable modifications or services. Sales tax is added to the final invoice and must be paid in full prior to delivery or pickup. Universal Containers LLC does not absorb sales tax costs on behalf of customers.
3. Exemptions
Certain purchases may qualify for exemption from sales tax, including:
Resale purchases
Tax-exempt organizations
Transactions otherwise exempt under applicable law
To claim an exemption, customers must provide valid exemption documentation before invoicing. Universal Containers LLC reserves the right to verify exemption eligibility and documentation.
4. Customer Responsibility
Customers are responsible for the accuracy of any tax-exempt information provided. If sales tax is not collected at the time of purchase but is later deemed applicable, the customer is responsible for remitting any unpaid taxes, penalties, or interest as required by law.
5. Use Tax
If sales tax is not charged at the time of sale, customers may still be required to report and remit applicable use tax to the relevant taxing authority. Universal Containers LLC does not provide tax advice; we recommend consulting a qualified tax professional if needed.
6. Policy Updates
Sales tax laws may change. Universal Containers LLC reserves the right to update this Sales Tax Policy at any time. Updated versions will be posted on our website, and continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of any changes.
