Transportation of cigarettes and tobacco products

Transportation of untaxed cigarettes: Transporters must obtain a permit from the Department of Revenue to possess, acquire for transportation, or transport untaxed cigarettes in Oregon. Application can be made online at https://revenueonline.dor.oregon.gov.

“Transporter” means any person importing or transporting into Oregon, or transporting in Oregon, cigarettes obtained from a source located outside this state, or from any person not licensed as a distributor. It does not include a licensed distributor, a common carrier to whom is issued a certificate or operating authority or permit by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to carry commodities in interstate commerce, or a carrier of federal tax-free cigarettes in bond, or any person transporting no more than 199 cigarettes at any one time.

The permit is issued at no fee. The application must be on the form prescribed by the department, and submitted no less than one working day before the first transportation of untaxed cigarettes. The application must include:

1. The applicant’s name, address and telephone number;
2. The beginning and ending dates of the period to be covered by the permit;
3. The maximum number of loads or shipments the transporter may transport under the permit;
4. The method of transportation;
5. The location of detailed records concerning the transportation of untaxed cigarettes under the permit, including where each shipment of untaxed cigarettes was picked up and delivered; and
6. The name and telephone number of the person the department can contact to examine the records.

The Department will either approve or deny the application and return it to the applicant before the first shipment is made under the permit. An approved application constitutes a permit.

The original or a photocopy of the permit must be carried in the vehicle transporting the untaxed cigarettes. The transporter must carry the permit, the invoices or bills of lading covering the shipment, and other prescribed information in the vehicle during transport.

The permit holder must notify the department of any change in the information required on the application before the first transportation of untaxed cigarettes after such information changes. A new permit must be obtained if the name of the permit holder changes.

All pertinent records and returns must be retained for five years.
