Template:FAQ/Questions/tax policy for us

What is the tax policy for US States and International (eg VAT)?
gumstix is obligated to charge sales tax in any state where the company maintains a branch or office. Currently, gumstix is required to collect sales tax for California-based customers. For California residents, sales tax is charged on total merchandise plus shipping charges.

Resellers based in California may contact sales at gumstix.com to be exempt from sales tax being added to their purchases of gumstix products. This tax-exemption must be put in place before an order is placed by the Reseller.

Outside the United States, gumstix does not add any charges for customs, import duties, VAT or anything else that may be applicable.

gumstix URGES anyone shipping internationally to contact their local delivery agent for tracking the shipment through customs into your country. Having items &quot;stuck at the foreign delivery agent location&quot; has been the single biggest delay encountered in shipping.

All shipping rates depend on shipping location and include a $5.00 handling fee.
