The Maryland Direct Wine Shipper Bond is required by the Comptroller of Maryland, Revenue Administration Division. The required amount of the bond is the estimated quarterly taxes of the wine shipments, subject to a $1,000 minimum bond amount. 

What is the purpose of a Maryland Direct Wine Shipper Bond?

A direct wine shipper is someone who ships wine directly to a consumer in the State of Maryland. Aside from getting a permit, direct wine shippers must also pay their taxes, thus the surety bond is needed. This surety bond is an agreement between the principal (the direct wine shipper), the obligee (the state), and the surety company, who needs to be licensed to operate in the state of Maryland.

The bond states that the bondholder shall promptly file tax returns and reports with the Comptroller of the State of Maryland as required by law, and shall truly pay all alcoholic beverage taxes as they become due.
