EMS Engines collects and remits sales tax as required by the State of Tennessee.

Out-of-State Shipments
Orders shipped to destinations outside the state of Tennessee are generally not subject to Tennessee sales tax, provided the order is delivered to an out-of-state address. Sales tax is determined based on the delivery location of the order, not the customer’s residence.

Tennessee Shipments
Orders shipped to an address within Tennessee are subject to Tennessee state and applicable local sales tax, even if the purchaser resides outside the state.

Tax Exempt Purchases
Customers claiming a tax exemption, including resale exemptions, must provide valid and applicable exemption documentation prior to purchase. Tennessee accepts qualifying out-of-state resale or exemption certificates when permitted by law. EMS Engines reserves the right to review, accept, or reject exemption documentation in accordance with Tennessee Department of Revenue requirements.

Affidavits and Special Exemptions
Tennessee law provides limited affidavit-based exemptions for certain transactions, such as specific motor vehicle or vessel removals from the state. These affidavits do not apply to general retail sales of automotive parts, engines, or related goods. Customers who believe their transaction qualifies for a special statutory exemption must contact EMS Engines prior to purchase for review.

Customer Responsibility
If sales tax is not collected at checkout and a taxing authority later determines tax is due, the customer agrees to be responsible for all applicable taxes, penalties, and interest.
