Regulatory Fees?
What's that about?
We don't blame you for asking. Here's the story: some states impose regulatory fees on certain products that businesses sell to individuals within their state. Usually these fees help the state government finance recycling, disposal, or similar programs for the products in question. The name and amount of any such fees will be listed in your order details. See below for more specific info about these fees. Follow the links down there for even MORE specific info.
