Overview

Walmart collects and remits product taxes and fees directly to tax authorities for certain products shipped to specified states. In this guide, you’ll find out which products may be subject to fees and the states where Walmart will collect and remit the taxes and fees.

How does it work?

As of January 2023, Walmart will collect and remit Tire Recycling Fees and Wireless Telephone Fees for orders shipped to Oklahoma. Any other product fees and taxes will be collected by Walmart and sent to you for appropriate remittance. The collection of these taxes and fees is based on the product type that is assigned to the item being sold.

Product examples with fees you’re responsible for includes but not limited to, electronic waste, tires, batteries, bottle deposits, mattress recycling and water goods. For more information on the different types of product fees or taxes and compliance requirements, visit Tax Collection and Remittance Policy Addendum and consult your tax advisor.

Frequently asked questions

What do I do if the product fee that I was charged is incorrect?

Why was I charged a mattress haul-away service fee?

To ensure compliance with California state law, Walmart offers a mattress haul-away service for California-based customers at checkout. Walmart may offer this service through a third-party company that manages a haul-away service on behalf of Marketplace sellers. If a California customer selects the service, then you’ll be charged $79 to cover the cost.

The fee is deducted from your normal payment cycle and reflected on regular invoicing. The fee will not apply if the customer doesn’t select the service at checkout. The fee doesn’t apply to mattress sales in other states. Walmart and the Walmart Marketplace Program do not provide tax, legal, or accounting services.
