Overview:
The California Tobacco Manufacturer and Importer Bond is a financial guarantee required by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) for entities involved in the manufacturing and importing of tobacco products within the state. This bond ensures compliance with state regulations, including the timely payment of taxes and adherence to all applicable laws governing tobacco sales and distribution. The bond acts as a safeguard for the state, ensuring that manufacturers and importers fulfill their financial obligations, particularly concerning excise taxes. The bond amount is determined based on the volume of tobacco products handled and the potential tax liability, providing a layer of financial security to the state against any potential losses resulting from non-compliance or default by the bonded entity.
Who Needs It:
This bond is specifically required for businesses engaged in the manufacturing or importing of tobacco products in California. This includes both domestic manufacturers who produce tobacco products within the state and importers who bring tobacco products into California from other states or countries. The bond is essential for these businesses as it is a prerequisite for obtaining and maintaining a license to operate legally within the state. Without this bond, manufacturers and importers cannot legally conduct business, as it serves as a critical component of the regulatory framework designed to ensure compliance with state tax laws and regulations. The bond not only protects the states financial interests but also promotes fair competition by ensuring that all entities adhere to the same legal and financial standards. For businesses, securing this bond is a necessary step in demonstrating their commitment to operating within the legal parameters set forth by the state, thereby fostering trust and credibility with regulatory authorities and consumers alike.

FAQ
A surety bond is a financial guarantee that ensures the bonded party (you or your business) will fulfill their obligations, such as complying with laws, regulations, or contracts. If these obligations are not met, the bond protects the obligee (the party requiring the bond) by compensating them for any losses.
An obligee is the person or organization that requires you to get a bond. It could be a government agency, a contractor, or another entity that needs assurance you will meet certain legal or contractual obligations.
Here’s how our simple process works:
- Purchase your bond: Select your bond and choose between monthly or annual payment options. Complete the purchase through our secure platform.

- Monthly payments or annual payments, both of which automatically renew. You’ll receive automatic reminders before renewal.
