What it is and who needs it.
What the export bond actually covers
A distributor licensed in another state but unlicensed in Rhode Island can apply to the Division of Taxation for a permit to purchase motor fuel tax-free for export. Because no Rhode Island fuel tax is collected at purchase, the state requires a surety bond as a financial guarantee that the fuel really is exported and any tax that becomes due is paid.
Under 280-RICR-20-50-1.8, the bond amount is twice the average monthly gallonage to be exported — counting only the months with activity — with each additional 100,000 monthly gallons (or fraction) adding $10,000. So roughly: 100,000 gallons/month → a $10,000 bond; 400,000 → $30,000; 1,000,000 → $70,000.
The bond stands behind the motor fuel tax tied to your export activity — if tax becomes due and is not paid, the state can recover against it. We issue the amount the Division of Taxation set, at a flat 3% with no credit check, on the bond form the Division provides with your export-permit application.
