What is a New York Motor Fuel or Diesel Motor Fuel Distributor Bond?
Know why this surety bond is important to your business!
Both motor fuel and diesel motor fuel distributors are required to register before conducting business in the State of New York. A surety bond is required before the said distributors are registered. Maintaining a sufficient bond is also required once registered.
Compliance with the applicable laws and rules is one of the reasons for the surety bond under Articles 12‑A, 13‑A, 28, and 29 of the New York State Tax Law.
Another reason is the assurance that if the registered motor fuel and diesel motor fuel distributors fail to promptly pay any sums due, the Obligee can recover the amount through the surety bond.
Motor fuel distributors import the following motor fuels into the state for distribution:
- Gasoline
- Benzol
- Reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending
- Conventional blendstock for oxygenate blending
- E85
- Fuel grade ethanol (ASTM International active standards specifications D4806 or D4814)
- Other motor vehicle engine products
Diesel motor fuel distributors, on the other hand, import into the state diesel motor fuel only.
