Required License by State for Wholesale Vapor Products
Most states require some combination of business documents before a retailer can purchase vapor products. For example, common documents may include a Federal Tax ID, also called an EIN, a state sales or resale license, and additional tobacco or vapor permits.
In some states, retailers may also need specific authorizations for tobacco, vapor, ENDS, nicotine e-liquids, disposables, OTP, or related product categories. Because these rules vary by location, KMT Distribution reviews account documents based on the customer’s business information and shipping state.
Wholesale Requirements for Retailers and Business Customers
Authorized retail business operators can apply for a KMT Distribution account. However, certain product categories may require additional documents before purchasing is available. These requirements help support compliance-aware ordering for restricted products.
Use the map and table on this page to review documents that are commonly requested by state. Then, sign in to your account or apply for access if you are a new business customer.
