NPM Or Importer Bond

NON-PARTICIPATING MANUFACTURER OR IMPORTER BOND. This form is used in the State of Arkansas to ensure compliance with state tobacco laws by requiring non-participating manufacturers (NPMs) or their importers to post a bond before their tobacco products can be listed on the state’s Approved-for-Sale Tobacco Products Directory. This bond, issued by a bonding company authorized to do business in Arkansas, guarantees that the manufacturer or importer will meet all legal obligations under Arkansas tobacco statutes, including making required escrow deposits, paying penalties, costs, and attorney’s fees if necessary. The form collects detailed information about the manufacturer, importer, and bonding company, and specifies the amount of the bond, which is calculated based on statutory requirements. By signing, the parties agree that the bond will remain in effect until formally withdrawn with notice to the Arkansas Attorney General, with liability continuing for any obligations that existed at the time of withdrawal. This bond serves as a financial safeguard for the state, ensuring that NPMs and importers remain accountable for their obligations under Arkansas tobacco control laws. www.FormsWorkflow.com
