Hello everyone,

The excise officer in my State told me that if I want to sell tobacco online, then I need to register with each State since the tobacco laws are different in each State. I am not sure if he knew what he was talking about but I could be wrong. Can someone please help me understand this?

I will charge people sales tax based on their State at the time of online purchase but why do I need to pay each State Tobacco tax? Paying tobacco tax to my State isn't enough? Please advise because registering with each State sounds insane and must be very costly.

Thanks in advance,
Zack
