SALES AND TAXES POLICY

Last Updated: August 12, 2026

At Casa Talavera Imports, we strive to provide a clear, transparent, and seamless shopping experience. This Sales and Taxes Policy outlines how sales prices are managed and how applicable sales taxes are calculated, collected, and remitted for purchases made on our website.

1. Sales Tax Collection

Sales tax is collected on orders in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local tax regulations.

  • Tax Nexus: As our business operations and storefront are based in Palm Desert, California, sales tax is applied to all orders shipped to destinations within California, as well as any other states or jurisdictions where we meet state tax collection obligations (economic nexus).

  • Automated Calculation: Sales tax is automatically computed during the checkout process based on the exact shipping address provided, incorporating state, county, and local district tax rates.

2. Tax Rates

Tax rates vary based on the state, county, and local jurisdiction of your delivery address. The estimated sales tax total shown in your shopping cart is finalized during checkout once the complete shipping destination is confirmed.

3. Tax on Shipping & Handling

Whether sales tax applies to shipping and handling charges depends on individual state and local tax laws:

  • In jurisdictions where shipping and handling are subject to tax, sales tax will be calculated on the combined total of merchandise and shipping fees.

  • In jurisdictions where shipping fees are non-taxable, sales tax will apply only to the merchandise total.

4. Tax-Exempt Purchases

If you are making a purchase on behalf of a qualifying tax-exempt organization, business reseller, or government entity:

  • Please contact us at support@casatalaveraimports.com before placing your order.

  • Submit a valid, signed tax exemption certificate or state reseller permit for verification.

  • Upon verification, we will set up or process your tax-exempt order. Tax adjustments cannot be issued retroactively on orders completed without prior documentation.

5. Prices and Currency

  • Currency: All product prices listed on our website are in United States Dollars ($ USD).

  • Price Adjustments: Prices, offers, and inventory levels are subject to change without prior notice.

  • Discounts & Promotions: Promotional codes or sales offers apply to the merchandise subtotal before taxes and shipping fees are calculated. Discount codes cannot be combined unless specified.
