Lets say I have a home office and I create CAD drawings for customers. At some point, these CAD drawings can be sent to a third company to make the physical items from these CAD drawings (a fabrication house).

Now, their are two options for whom orders the items from the fabrication house.
1). I send the CAD files back to my customer and they order from the fab house (they deal with the sales tax). or...
2). I place the order to the fab house, on behalf of my customer, and have the items shipped directly to the customer, and I would pass the charge onto the customer in my invoice.

My question is this: If I order the items, how do I pass the sales tax onto the customer being as I'm the 'broker' (right?). I'm not sure how to do this the right way.

I think you should stay with no 1. What if you had a customer that wasn't satisfied they will come to you and want there money back. Best to go see your accountant on this.
