AN 2004(8)
Applying for a Cigarette Manufacturer's License
Purpose: This Announcement provides information about the process to apply for a cigarette manufacturer’s license. Effective October 1, 2004, every tobacco product manufacturer selling cigarettes to consumers within Connecticut, whether directly or through a distributor, dealer, or similar intermediary or intermediaries, is required to apply for and secure a cigarette manufacturer’s license from DRS.
Effective Date: October 1, 2004.
Statutory Authority: 2003 Conn. Pub. Acts 271, §2.
Cigarette Manufacturer’s License: As used in this Announcement:
Tobacco product manufacturer means a tobacco product manufacturer, as defined in Conn. Gen. Stat. §4-28h.
Master Settlement Agreement means the Master Settlement Agreement, as defined in Conn. Gen. Stat. §4-28h.
Participating manufacturer means a participating manufacturer, as defined in Subsection II(jj) of the Master Settlement Agreement.
As was previously indicated in Special Notice 2003(18), 2003 Legislation Affecting the Cigarette Taxes and the Tobacco Products Tax, effective October 1, 2004, every tobacco product manufacturer selling cigarettes to consumers within Connecticut, whether directly or through a distributor, dealer, or similar intermediary or intermediaries, is required to apply for and secure a cigarette manufacturer’s license from DRS. To apply for a cigarette manufacturer’s license, a tobacco product manufacturer must complete and submit Form REG 2-CIG, Application, Cigarette/Tobacco Products, Tax Registration. The cigarette manufacturer’s license is renewable annually and expires on the thirtieth day of September. The annual cigarette manufacturer’s license fee is $5,000.

Is neither a participating manufacturer nor in full compliance with Conn. Gen. Stat. §4-28i;
Has imported cigarettes into the United States in violation of 19 U.S.C. §1681a; or
