Approved For Stamping and Sale in Delaware
This list of Tobacco Product Manufacturers has
been developed and published as required to comply with Title
29, Chapter 60D. Enforcement Provisions of Delaware Tobacco
Settlement Act of 1999.
This Directory lists only those Tobacco Product Manufacturer
Brands and Brand Families that have been determined to be in
compliance with the laws of this State and have provided current
and accurate certifications conforming to the requirements set
forth by the MSA and Delaware Code.
Tobacco Product Manufacturers that want to be added to this
Directory of Compliant Manufacturers or have questions about
certification or forms, please contact renee.harris@state.de.us
or call the State of Delaware, Office of the Attorney General,
Department of Justice, Tobacco Litigation & Enforcement at

Non -Participating Tobacco
Manufacturers:
Pursuant to 29 Del. C. Ch. 60D, this Directory will not
consist of the name or Brand Families of any Non-Participating
Manufacturer (NPM) that has failed to provide the required
certification or whose certification the Attorney General
determines is not in compliance with the laws of this State
unless the Attorney General has determined that such violation
has been cured to the satisfaction of the Attorney General.
Be advised that as of July 7, 2003, Section 5346 of Title 30 of
Delaware Code now expressly prohibits the affixing of a tax
stamp to any tobacco product that violates not only Federal law,
but also any law of the State of Delaware. As you are aware, 29
Del. C. ' 6082 requires a "tobacco product
manufacturer selling cigarettes to consumers within the State
(whether directly or through a distributor, retailer, or similar
intermediary or intermediaries)" to either become a
signatory to the Master Settlement Agreement, or to escrow a
certain sum per tobacco product unit sold in this State during
the prior year. Tobacco manufacturers that have failed to comply
with Section 6082 have violated a law of this State, and are
subject to enforcement action by the Attorney General on behalf
of the State. Consequently, any manufacturer, distributor,
retailer, or similar intermediary who stamps for sale the
product of a tobacco manufacturer that has not complied with 29
Del. C. Ch. 60 is in violation of 30 Del. C. ' 5346.
Violators of Section 5346 are subject to penalties including
substantial fines, seizure of product, and license revocation.
The sale of tobacco products manufactured by any entity not
included in this Directory or a signatory to the Master
Settlement Agreement, is prohibited by the law of this State.
