Tobacco Litigation
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 vanessa.kassab@delaware.gov or call (302) 683-8881.
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.60D 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.
Non-Participating Manufacturer (NPM) Revised Cigarette Reporting Form & Duty to Report Sales of Cigarette Products by NPMs
Pursuant to the State of Delaware, Department of Finance, Division of Revenue, Technical Information Memorandum 2002-1, the revised Schedule NPM/CIG/RYO monthly report form must be used to report all purchases of cigarettes and roll your own tobacco products acquired for sale that are manufactured by Non-Participating Tobacco Manufacturers.
