What is this bond?

The Indiana Special Fuel License for Importer Bond is a financial guarantee required by the state for businesses that bring special fuels across state lines. It ensures the bonded principal accurately reports their imports and remits all applicable fuel taxes, fees, and penalties owed to the state.

Who needs it?

Any business or individual that imports special fuels into Indiana for sale or use typically needs this bond. This often includes fuel distributors, suppliers, and transportation companies managing the cross-border movement of diesel and other specialized fuels.

Why is it required?

The Indiana Department of Revenue generally requires this bond to protect the state from lost tax revenue. If an importer fails to pay required special fuel taxes or file accurate reports, the bond provides a financial safety net for the state to recover those owed funds.
