TOBACCO PRODUCT MANUFACTURER (“TPM”) CERTIFICATION (M.G.L. c. 94F).

Here's a summary: It requires TPMs to provide detailed information such as company name, addresses (both physical and mailing), contact details, manufacturing facility information, and federal taxpayer ID numbers. It also seeks information on the TPM's status as either a Participating Manufacturer (PM) under the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) or a Non-Participating Manufacturer (NPM) in compliance with state laws. The form mandates TPMs to list their Brand Families and Brand Styles for cigarettes and Roll-Your-Own (RYO) tobacco products, submitting this information annually, initially, or as a supplement. It includes requirements for documentation related to federal approvals, compliance with state fire standards, and registration with state authorities. For NPMs specifically, it requires reporting of units sold in Massachusetts and details regarding their escrow accounts, including deposit history. It also necessitates supplemental documentation like sales invoices and information on stampers/wholesalers involved in distribution. www.FormsWorklfow.com
