Section 78:13 Authorization to Affix Stamps or Use Metering Machine.

The commissioner may adopt rules, pursuant to RSA 541-A, relative to authorizing any person resident or located outside this state and engaged in a business which would make such person if he carried it on in this state a wholesaler as defined in this chapter, to affix the stamps required by this chapter on behalf of the purchasers of such tobacco products. The commissioner may sell stamps to such person or the commissioner may authorize the use of a metering machine as provided in this chapter.

Service shall be made on the secretary of state as agent of such person in the same manner as is provided in RSA 300.

Such conditions shall include the right to inspect the books of the nonresident and the posting of a bond by the nonresident conditioned upon the payment of all taxes imposed under this chapter.
