What it is and who needs it.
What the exporter tax bond covers
Florida taxes cigarettes under Chapter 210, Part I, Florida Statutes, and licenses the trade through the DBPR Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco (ABT). A cigarette exporter (EXP) permit lets a business bring tax-exempt cigarettes into Florida under bond for delivery beyond the state's borders — and the bond guarantees the tax that would be owed if those cigarettes never actually leave.
Its amount is set the same way as the distributing-agent bond: 110% of your estimated tax liability for 30 days, but not less than $2,000. File it on the Division's surety bond form, DBPR ABT-6032, with your permit application.
No active bond, no permit — and if the bond lapses or is cancelled, ABT can enjoin further transactions. If the surety pays unremitted tax, you repay the surety. Premiums start at $100; at the standard amounts the application collects no credit information, though larger amounts may get a quick soft-pull review that never affects your score.
