# Taxability of shipping charges

Because we treat freight/shipping just like any other line item on the document, you can associate a tax code to your freight/shipping line item. The taxability of freight/shipping will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Depending on how you ship your goods, via USPS, FedEx or UPS, you may have different taxability than if you ship via your own company truck. We have quite a few different freight tax codes to choose from, make sure that you select a code that is representative of how you ship your goods. Take a look at our [tax code lookup utility](https://taxcode.avatax.avalara.com/tree?tree=freight-and-freight-related-charges&tab=interactive) to view a list of specific freight tax codes.

**Advice:** It is possible to have multiple freight lines on a transaction that include different addresses. For example, one item may be shipping to CA and another to NY. AvaTax will look for a freight line, and based on the address of that line will group those items together. So if a freight line item is shipping to CA, AvaTax will bundle line items with that same CA address and use that information for determination.

More information about how AvaTax handles freight lines shipping to specific addresses is available in the [Change freight and handling taxability](https://knowledge.avalara.com/bundle/dqa1657870670369_dqa1657870670369/page/Change_freight_and_handling_taxability.html) Knowledge Center topic.
