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; the application collects no credit information, and premiums start from $100. The exporter license and the distributor license are separate filings under the same fuels-tax chapter.
