Billing
Do I need to pay sales tax?
Under the New Jersey Sales and Use Tax Act, we are required to collect 6.625% sales tax on all gross sales unless we are presented with a valid Sales Exempt Certificate at the time of purchase. Sales to landscape contractors are not exempt. Tax forms must be presented prior to being invoiced. Once invoiced, we will not refund tax for any reason. Acceptable tax forms include ST-3- Plant material purchased for resale, not installation, ST-13- Plant material purchased for use by Federal, State, or Municipal projects, and ST-7- Plant material purchased to be planted and grown on as nursery stock.

We do not allow your customer to tag plant material unless they are accompanied by you or a representative from your company. We will hold tagged plant material for up to 10 days. After that period, all items will be returned for purchase. Deposits are non-refundable.
