Connecticut General Statutes §12-330b requires every Hartford retailer selling electronic nicotine delivery systems to obtain a vapor products dealer license from the CT Department of Revenue Services and remit excise tax.
Connecticut imposes vapor products excise tax under CT §12-330b and §12-330c, requiring all Hartford retailers selling electronic cigarettes, e-liquid, or nicotine pouches to obtain a vapor products dealer license from the CT Department of Revenue Services (DRS). The excise tax is 10 percent of wholesale on open-system devices and $0.40 per milliliter on closed-system pre-filled cartridges. License renewal is annual at $400. Retailers must display the license, segregate vape products from food shelves, and verify customer age 21+. Hartford's tobacco retail buffer rules apply, restricting new vape stores within 1,500 feet of schools.
Selling vape products without a DRS dealer license is a Class D misdemeanor under CT §12-330k, with fines up to $1,000 and product seizure.
