I also am interested in this. I need to add a handling charge that is:

 1) only for certain products,
 2) only for certain states
 3) is multiplied by the number of boxes.

For example, if there are 1000 per box and the order is 1500 the it would
be the (handling_charge * 2). I want it to show up on the Checkout page as
a separate line (and of course on the receipt) when it occurs.
