# Taxability of handling charges

Depending on how you show the handling charge on your document, it may be included with your freight/shipping line item, or it can be a line itself on the transaction.

-   In the case where your handling charge is combined with freight/shipping, you do not need a separate line — there is a tax code that covers this scenario: `FR030000`.
-   When your handling charge is separately stated from the freight/shipping charge, you just need to treat the handling charge as another line. AvaTax has a tax code that covers this as well: `OH010000`.

Refer to the [Avalara Tax Codes Search](https://taxcode.avatax.avalara.com/tree?tree=freight-and-freight-related-charges&tab=interactive) for more information about specific freight and handling tax codes.
