Good Evening all,
I am brand new to rod building and am excited about getting started. I have been reading for a while, and the knowledge here has been very helpful with encouraging me to get started. I decided on a Mudhole complete start up kit with the 7’ mh rod. I hope this will be a good starting point. I look forward to jumping into this potential addiction and soaking up your knowledge. I do have a question. I also decided to jump on the NFC sale to grab a couple more blanks for winter projects. I put them in my cart and was going to check out when I saw a $35 shipping AND a $20 federal excise tax. I have never seen the excise tax before. Is this normal? Thanks for any and all advise on this starry up kit, rod purchases, and anything you can offer. Riebs Re: New and excited

Excise IS normal, and federally required, if it's not integrated in price.

Herb, is it normal to charge $20.00 tax on a $65.00 item? Re: New and excited

The excise tax is normal but somebody isn't figuring it correctly. The tax is capped at 10% or $10 of the selling price, whichever is less. On a $65 blank, the most the excise tax would be is $6.50.

Looks like the excise tax is calculated on the listed retail price, not the sale price. Re: New and excited

That makes sense. A lot of retailers figure it in their prices and don’t show it as a separate cost to the consumer. This makes the product look cheaper at initial decision. Don’t get me wrong, it still looks like a pretty good deal if the NFC blanks are as good as I assume they are. I was just a little shocked when at checkout, my total jumped $55. Thanks for the info. You guys are great. Re: New and excited

Hey Keith, my Mudhole order did have free shipping. My cart at North Fork Composites was the one with the shipping and Federal Excise I was asking about. I had just never seen the tax stated that way on an order. Re: New and excited

You don't see the charge on other sites, because it's built into the price of the blank. As far as it being $20, it's $10 per blank. Re: New and excited

Thanks David, that makes sense. It was a curiosity when I saw it in my cart. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
