What it is and who needs it.
What the exporter bond actually covers
Alabama taxes motor fuel under the Terminal Excise Tax Act (Code of Alabama Title 40, Chapter 17, Article 12). An exporter removes motor fuel from an Alabama terminal for delivery to another state — and because exported fuel is treated differently for tax, the Department of Revenue requires a bond standing behind the licensee’s reporting.
Under §40-17-335, an exporter’s bond is set at a minimum of $2,000, or approximately twice the average monthly tax liability, whichever is greater. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Department of Revenue (the obligee). If an exporter misreports and tax is owed, the state recovers against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the state, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Department named — premiums from $100, with your exact price shown at the application. The application collects no credit information.
