CAISS has an affiliation with TaxCloud which is the leading tax reporting agency for tax compliance across the US. TaxCloud® is a Registered Trademark of The Federal Tax Authority, LLC. Our online website is integrated with TaxCloud and automatically calculates Sales Tax during the checkout process.

CAISS COLLECTS SALES TAX in states where we have physical presence (or nexus). The following are the US States CAISS does not mostly collect Sales Tax from: AL, AR, CO, FL, HI, ID, IA, MD, MO, NM, PA, NY. If Sales Tax is included in these states, it is because the taxing authority of that state requires CAISS to collect and report sales tax.

Online orders automatically calculate Sales Tax during the checkout process based on the shipping address/destination entered. If the Sales Tax item is $0.00 at checkout, this means that your State’s tax jurisdiction does not allow CAISS to collect Sales Tax. In this case, your company/you may report the purchase to that state’s tax jurisdiction.

Payment Term Orders with an issued Purchase Order (PO) do not qualify CAISS to collect Sales Tax, with the exception of California (CA).

FOR CANADA & MEXICO CUSTOMERS ONLY: CAISS does not collect Sales Tax in these countries. However, there are excise duties, taxes, port handling fees, and other customs charges that are involved. As the recipient of this order, these fees and charges, which will not be included as part of your order, are the “SOLE” responsibility of the client or freight broker making the purchase.

Sometimes, CAISS will include excise duties, taxes, port handling fees, and other customs charges in the freight quote to you, and will specifically mention it.
