A shipping tax code is a name for a grouping of shipping taxes that is applied to the same products. For example, all taxes applicable to shipping to a certain region could be grouped under a single tax code called Regional shipping tax. Then, you could assign the Regional shipping tax code to each product being shipped to that region.
