Details for the combined wholesaler/subjobber listing

Current rule 701—231.3 sets cigarette-wholesaler security at $2,500. The statute's general $500 floor is not that role's current required amount. Have Revenue identify the actual permit classes before choosing security.

Section 453A.42 defines a tobacco subjobber as someone other than a manufacturer or distributor who buys from a distributor and resells to persons other than ultimate consumers. Section 453A.44 requires subjobber licensing, but places the $1,000 surety requirement on tobacco distributors, not every subjobber.

The current tobacco rule permits one subjobber permit for the person's statewide activities. That is different from the distributor's location-based licensing. Keep the cigarette business locations and actual tobacco activity clear in the application rather than assuming all licenses use the same location rule.

If you also import tobacco products, manufacture them or otherwise perform the statutory distributor function, address that additional role with Revenue. Eligible cigarette/tobacco aggregation must cover both actual conditions and the required total; a combined catalog title alone does not establish an acceptable aggregate.

Cigarette applications and prescribed bonds are filed electronically. Cigarette permits and tobacco licenses have June 30 cycles, but use Revenue's accepted security period and execution directions. If Revenue demands new or additional cigarette security because the existing bond is inadequate, section 453A.14 allows ten days to supply it; that is not a voluntary cancellation notice.

Purchase Now opens Propeller's combined Iowa application in a new tab. Match the legal business, actual wholesaler/subjobber roles, Revenue's required sum and accepted instrument, then complete the state permit and filing steps. Provider payment does not issue either credential or authorize an unlicensed distributor activity.
