Specifically, I certify that the agent:

or other person to the Tax Department, and provide a copy of the front page of the amended certification to such manufacturer or
other person.
I also certify that this certification applies to each of the agent’s purchases for the entire period covered by the certification. This
certification remains in effect until August 31, 2015. The agent must execute a new certification annually on or before September 1.

induce tobacco product manufacturers to sell unstamped packages of cigarettes to the above-named agent for the purpose of resale
