Details for Iowa interstate distributing agents

The statutory role is narrower than the ordinary meaning of distributor. Section 453A.1 describes an agent in Iowa storing an out-of-state manufacturer's cigarettes and fulfilling orders transmitted by that manufacturer. Section 453A.17 limits the permit's unstamped distribution to the specified interstate activity.

Rule 701—231.3 sets the distributing-agent bond at $2,500. The incorporated interstate provision's $1,000 minimum is not the current role-specific rule amount. Obtain Revenue's accepted sum and instrument, including any genuine additional permit requirements.

File the application electronically for each Iowa place of business. Identify the agent's legal business, principal office, location and officers or members when applicable. The permit is nonassignable and expires on June 30 following issue.

Keep cigarettes reserved for interstate business separate from intrastate stock. Stock not separated is treated as intrastate stock subject to first-sale requirements. The statute also prohibits retail cigarette sales from automobiles, trucks and similar conveyances; the storage permit does not authorize that retail activity.

The incorporated bond provisions allow Revenue to demand new or additional security when it becomes inadequate. The ten-day response period is not a voluntary cancellation notice, and failure to furnish adequate security can revoke the distributing-agent permit without a hearing. Follow Revenue's current security/execution directions rather than assuming another cigarette bond's release terms.

Match the actual agent, Iowa storage location, interstate activity and Revenue's security request, then complete the state permit and electronic filing. Provider payment does not grant the permit or make intrastate stock exempt.
