About ZIP 29407
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
South Carolina exempts groceries from the state 6% but local option taxes can still apply, and residents 85 and older may claim a 1% exemption. For destination-based sourcing, South Carolina sellers should confirm the rate by full street address rather than ZIP alone — a single ZIP can cross a city limit or a transit-district boundary, and the rate follows the boundary, not the mail route.
