SALES TAX INFORMATION

Are you tax-exempt?

Depending on your state and how our products are used in your operations, your purchases from Polar Tech Industries may qualify for a sales tax exemption.

Because PTI manufactures protective packaging used in production, fulfillment, and shipping processes, many states provide sales tax exemptions that may apply to purchases like ours. Packaging exemptions are among the most common in manufacturing-related sales tax law, though eligibility rules vary by state, including how your state defines the manufacturing process and what role the packaging plays within it.

If you think your organization may qualify, we encourage you to explore your eligibility. We use CertExpress, a secure portal powered by Avalara, to collect and manage exemption certificates. The portal can help guide you through identifying the correct certificate for your situation and submitting it directly to us.

Please note: Polar Tech Industries is not a tax advisor and cannot provide tax or legal advice. The information above is provided as general context only. We strongly encourage you to consult a qualified tax professional to confirm whether an exemption applies to your purchases.
