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.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

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.

Details for cash cigarette stamping distributors

Cash describes how stamps are purchased, not a waiver of security. Section 210.05 makes cash on delivery the default for stamp purchases, while section 210.08 separately requires acceptable security. The current ABT-6032 package expressly lists Stamping Agent (Cash) among the CWD classes requiring a bond.

The $2,000 figure is the statutory minimum, not a universal final sum. Section 210.08 uses 110 percent of estimated tax liability for thirty days. Obtain ABT's required amount for your operation before applying; do not import the $1,000 other-tobacco-products amount from a different row of the package.

Use the Stamping Distributor-Cash selection and Cigarette Laws, Chapter 210, Part I condition on the shared form. A separate bond is required for each type of license or permit. Keep any additional licensed activity and its requested undertaking distinct.

A bond purchased for this cash listing does not automatically establish a charge account. Section 210.05(3)(b) provides a separate approved arrangement in lieu of cash on delivery. Confirm any proposed change with ABT rather than treating the bond alone as permission to defer payment.

The posted model has an effective-date field and a surety-cancellation provision requiring sixty days' written notice to ABT, preserving liability for earlier covered acts. It requires the principal and surety execution fields and a properly certified copy of the surety agent's power of attorney. Follow the actual form and district instructions rather than adding an unrequested notarization requirement.

Match the legal license applicant, cash class, ABT amount and accepted date, then complete the state license and bond-submission steps. Provider payment does not grant a license, order stamps or approve credit.

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.
