Sales Tax

Sales tax of 7.75% will be charged on all orders shipped to California, with the exception of bonafide Federal Government agencies, and dealers who have provided us with a California resale certificate and seller's permit.

National Police Supply does not collect sales tax for other states, or on orders sent to APO/FPO addresses.

Excise Tax

Federal Excise Tax (FET) is NOT SALES TAX, it is a USE TAX (approximately 11%) levied by the Federal Government on specific products such as gasoline that also extends to firearms and ammunition. Section 4221(a)(4) of the Internal Revenue Service Code exempts all state, county and municipal law-enforcement agencies, and the United State Armed Forces from paying FET.

Orders for firearms or ammunition from governmental entities who meet that criteria are required to document that exemption by providing us with an FET Exemption Form.

FET exemption forms are valid and will be kept on file for three years if they are properly completed. Finally, please note that FET exemption does not apply to Federal law- enforcement agencies (FBI, DEA, etc.) or to individual law-enforcement officers.
