VAT, Taxes & Customs Information
We strive to make taxes and duties as transparent as possible. The information below explains how taxes are applied based on your shipping destination.
United States
Orders shipped within the United States may be subject to state sales tax.
We currently collect sales tax on orders shipped to:
- California
- Ohio
- Idaho
Tax rates are calculated based on the shipping destination and applicable state and local tax regulations.
Sales Tax Exemption
If your organization qualifies for sales tax exemption, you may submit the appropriate exemption documentation for review.
For California customers, please provide a completed BOE-230 Certificate of Exemption. Once your documentation has been reviewed and approved, your customer account will be marked as tax-exempt for future qualifying purchases.
If you believe your organization qualifies for a sales tax exemption, please contact us before placing your order.

If you are purchasing on behalf of a UK business, you may enter your valid VAT registration number during checkout. If your VAT number is successfully validated and your purchase qualifies, VAT will be removed from your order before payment.
