Florida — Cigarettes Stamping Distributor (Cash) Bond
A Florida stamping distributor paying cash for cigarette stamps still has a bonding requirement. Select the cash stamping-distributor class and have ABT confirm the required security; cash payment for stamps does not eliminate the license bond.

What this bond does
The bond supports the cigarette distributor's application and tax compliance under Chapter 210, Part I. Section 210.08 requires security equal to 110 percent of estimated thirty-day tax liability, with a $2,000 minimum.
- Who needs it
- Florida cigarette stamping distributors using the cash-payment arrangement. Match the actual CWD activity and legal license applicant, rather than choosing the charge-account, tax-paid-only or other-tobacco option because it appears on the same form.
- Who it protects
- ABT-6032 binds principal and surety jointly and severally to Florida. The cigarette condition requires accounting for and promptly paying all state taxes due on the principal's operations and otherwise complying with Chapter 210, Part I. It protects state revenue and cigarette-law compliance, not cigarette stock or the distributor's customer accounts.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Why is a bond needed if I pay cash for stamps?
Cash payment and license security are separate requirements. The ABT package includes cash stamping distributors, and section 210.08 requires security for the cigarette-tax obligation.
Is the cash bond always $2,000?
That is the minimum. Section 210.08 calculates security at 110 percent of estimated tax liability for thirty days. Use the amount ABT requires for your operation.
Does this let me buy stamps on charge?
No automatic charge privilege follows. Section 210.05 provides a separate approved payment arrangement in lieu of cash on delivery. Match the license and account actually authorized by ABT.
Must I use the other-tobacco condition?
This cigarette listing uses the cash stamping-distributor selection and Chapter 210, Part I. The shared form's Part II condition and other-tobacco amount concern a different class.
