What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Iowa regulates delivery sales of alternative nicotine and vapor products under Iowa Code 453A.47A. Any seller — inside or outside Iowa — that ships these products to Iowa consumers by internet, telephone, or mail order must hold a delivery sale permit, and the permit requires a $1,000 bond (surety bond or cash).
The bond runs to the State for the benefit of the Department of Revenue. It backs your compliance with the delivery-sale rules and the collection and remittance of Iowa sales, use, and any applicable tobacco/vapor tax on your Iowa sales. A delivery seller must also hold an Iowa sales or use tax permit.
It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the Department, you repay the surety. The permit itself carries no fee — the $1,000 bond is the security the State requires. Iowa tobacco bonds run to a June 30 expiration by rule.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $1,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The term is set on the carrier’s application; the premium covers the period shown there.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, June 30, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Department of Revenue. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your delivery sale permit application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
