About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Georgia’s Alcoholic Beverage Code (O.C.G.A. Title 3, Chapter 4) conditions a distilled-spirits license on a tax bond filed with the Department of Revenue’s Alcohol & Tobacco Division. For liquor importers the standard tax bond is $5,000, on the Department’s standard tax-bond form.

The bond guarantees the importer will promptly pay all sums due as taxes, license fees, penalties, and interest arising from importing distilled spirits, plus the state’s costs of collection. The Department of Revenue is the obligee and recovers against the bond if excise taxes go unpaid.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the state, you repay the surety. Note that wholesalers, manufacturers, and distillers can carry different (often higher) bond amounts; the $5,000 figure is the importer tax bond. Confirm the amount on your Department of Revenue application.

O.C.G.A. Title 3, Chapter 4 (Distilled Spirits)Georgia distilled-spirits licensees post a tax bond with the Department of Revenue under the Alcoholic Beverage Code (O.C.G.A. § 3-4-22 and related provisions). The standard importer tax bond is $5,000, on the Department’s standard tax-bond form, conditioned on prompt payment of all liquor excise taxes, fees, penalties, and interest. Wholesaler, manufacturer, and distiller bonds can differ — confirm the amount on your application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Georgia liquor importer tax bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. Same for every importer.
Do I pay the $5,000?No. You pay $100. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the Department of Revenue for unpaid liquor taxes — it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is this the same as the wholesaler or distiller bond?No. This is the $5,000 importer tax bond. Distilled-spirits wholesalers, manufacturers, and distillers can carry different (often higher) bond amounts. Confirm the figure on your Department of Revenue application — send it to us and we’ll match it.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — there's no credit section on this bond. Most applications approve instantly; if a check ever runs, it's a soft pull that never touches your score.
When does it renew?These bonds renew on statutory dates — December 31. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term, and we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out with autopay available so your importer license never lapses over a missed bond.
