About U.S. Sales Tax in FS.com Purchases

All items shipped to customers within U.S. are sold by FS United States (FS.COM Inc.)

FS is required by state law to collect sales tax that applies to your order. We display an "Estimated Sales Tax" to be collected at checkout when confirming an order.

FAQs

Will the Sales Tax be refunded when my order requests for return?: We will refund back the sales tax fees to you for the return.

How do I receive a refund for tax charged on a tax-exempt order?: To receive a refund for taxes paid on exempt purchases, you can contact your account manager or our customer service team with your proof of exemption documentation.

What are sales tax holidays?: At certain times of the year, some states offer a sales tax holiday which makes qualifying items exempt from sales tax during the holiday period. For example, a sales tax holiday may be enacted on "back to school" products before the new school year. FS will participate in tax-free sales events, and will honor tax exemption on qualifying items for the duration of the event. Visit your state's Department of Revenue website for more details.
