What is this bond?

The Florida Cigarettes Exporter Bond is a tax and revenue surety bond required for businesses exporting tobacco products from the state. It guarantees that the exporter will lawfully handle tax-exempt cigarettes destined for sale outside of Florida and accurately report all transactions. This bond ultimately protects the state from lost tax revenue due to the unlawful local distribution of unstamped cigarettes.

Who needs it?

Any business operating as a cigarette exporter within the State of Florida typically needs to secure this bond before conducting operations. This generally includes wholesale dealers, distributors, or other entities handling unstamped or tax-exempt cigarettes destined for out-of-state sale.

Why is it required?

The State of Florida requires this bond to ensure that exporters comply with state tax laws and regulations regarding tobacco products. It serves as a financial guarantee that the state will be compensated for any owed taxes, penalties, or fines if the exporter illegally diverts tax-exempt cigarettes back into the local market. Specific obligee requirements vary, so applicants should verify details with the issuing agency.
