About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the exporter bond actually covers

A motor vehicle fuels exporter buys fuel in Connecticut and ships it out of state for sale or use elsewhere. Because exported fuel is generally not subject to the Connecticut fuels tax, the Department of Revenue Services licenses exporters under C.G.S. Chapter 221 and wants a bond standing behind the tax accounting on those movements.

The bond guarantees that the exporter properly documents and reports exported fuel — so that fuel claimed as exported (and therefore untaxed) really left the state, and any tax that turns out to be due is paid. DRS sets the amount based on your activity.

It is not insurance for you — if DRS recovers tax against the bond, you repay the surety. We issue the amount DRS named, at a flat 3% with no credit check. The exporter license and the distributor license are separate filings under the same fuels-tax chapter.

C.G.S. Chapter 221 (Motor Vehicle Fuels Tax)Connecticut licenses motor vehicle fuels exporters through the Department of Revenue Services under the Motor Vehicle Fuels Tax chapter, C.G.S. Chapter 221. A surety bond backs the tax accounting on fuel moved out of state, in an amount DRS sets based on the exporter’s activity. Confirm your required amount with DRS; we issue the figure the department names.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Connecticut fuels exporter bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount itself is set by the Department of Revenue Services, tied to your export activity. Enter that figure and the quote updates.
How is this different from the distributor bond? +
Both are filed with DRS under the fuels-tax chapter, but they license different activities: the distributor bond backs the tax on fuel distributed in Connecticut, while the exporter bond backs the tax accounting on fuel moved out of state. If you do both, you may file both.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the exporter bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What amount should I choose if I'm not sure? +
Use the figure DRS named on your exporter license paperwork. If you do not have it yet, send us what you have and we will confirm before issuing.
Where do I file it? +
With the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services, alongside your motor vehicle fuels exporter license application or renewal. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
