# Taxability of handling charges

Source: https://developer.avalara.com/marketplace-integration-guide/transactions/non-standard-item-transactions/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 don’t need a separate line — there’s 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`.
