Mississippi State Sales Tax:
Mississippi, state law requires that we charge sales tax on orders shipped to all customers residing in Mississippi.
To customers residing in states other than Mississippi, please be aware that, if applicable, the taxing authorities in your state may charge you a “use” tax on your out-of-state internet and/or catalog purchases. While it is not the responsibility of AAO Manufacturing to charge or collect this “use” tax from you at this time, we are alerting our customers regarding this possibility as a courtesy. If you require further information on this issue, we suggest you contact the tax authorities in your state directly.
Overseas order shipping must be discussed prior to placing an order. The export of most of our products is regulated by the US State Department and they are required to approve any orders prior to shipping. Shipping will occur via a common freight forwarding company or broker, and it is the responsibility of the customer.
