What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A wholesale cigarette dealer bond is a tax-payment guarantee. As a wholesaler you buy and affix New York cigarette tax stamps, and the state wants a financial backstop that the taxes, fees, and penalties owed under the cigarette tax law will actually be paid.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of New York acting through the Department of Taxation and Finance (the obligee). If a dealer fails to pay sums due or violates the cigarette tax law, the state can recover against the bond up to the $10,000 penal sum.
The bond stays on file as a condition of your license. We track your term and notify you 60 and 30 days out, so your wholesale dealer license never lapses over expired surety paperwork.

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 $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 your license. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Department of Taxation and Finance alongside your wholesale dealer license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
