NJ cigarette wholesaler bonds.
$100 flat.
Every non-resident licensed cigarette wholesale dealer must file a bond of not less than $2,000 with the New Jersey Division of Taxation to guarantee performance under the Cigarette Tax Act. Ours is $100 flat — the price is set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for everyone.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
New Jersey taxes cigarettes through stamps affixed to each pack. An out-of-state (non-resident) wholesale dealer who sells into New Jersey is licensed by the Division of Taxation and must post a bond standing behind the proper performance of its duties and the discharge of its tax liabilities under the Cigarette Tax Act.
The bond is filed as principal (you) and surety (the carrier), runs concurrently with your wholesale dealer's license, and is for the benefit of the State. If a wholesaler fails to remit tax it owes or otherwise violates the act, the State can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The minimum bond is $2,000; if Taxation sets a higher amount on your particular license, send us the figure and we re-issue at the same $100 price.
