I very much doubt there is any mechanism to get duty or tax out of a sender. All you need to worry about is getting paid and not having some dodgy PayPal or similar buyer guarantee scheme rip you.
A rug will damp cab vibrations just the same. The majority of floor excitation comes from the cab moving the air at low frequencies.

You never saw Terminator?
