What it is and who needs it.
What the interstate user bond actually covers
An interstate motor fuel user under Louisiana law is, broadly, a person who operates qualified motor vehicles across state lines and owes Louisiana motor fuels tax on fuel used in the state. The license is issued by the Department of Revenue under R.S. 47:818.37, and a bond is required before doing business.
The bond backs the fuel-use tax you owe Louisiana on interstate operations. R.S. 47:818.40 sets the interstate motor fuel user bond at a minimum of $20,000 or three months’ tax liability, whichever is greater — the same minimum that applies to distributor, importer, exporter, and blender licenses.
It is a guarantee to the state, not insurance for you: if the Department recovers against the bond, you repay the surety. We issue the amount your license requires; pricing runs from $100 and the application collects no credit information. If your interstate operations are reported under the International Fuel Tax Agreement, confirm with the Department which bond, if any, applies to you.
