About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Iowa regulates delivery sales of alternative nicotine and vapor products under Iowa Code 453A.47A. Any seller — inside or outside Iowa — that ships these products to Iowa consumers by internet, telephone, or mail order must hold a delivery sale permit, and the permit requires a $1,000 bond (surety bond or cash).

The bond runs to the State for the benefit of the Department of Revenue. It backs your compliance with the delivery-sale rules and the collection and remittance of Iowa sales, use, and any applicable tobacco/vapor tax on your Iowa sales. A delivery seller must also hold an Iowa sales or use tax permit.

It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the Department, you repay the surety. The permit itself carries no fee — the $1,000 bond is the security the State requires. Iowa tobacco bonds run to a June 30 expiration by rule.
