(a) Wholesalers are prohibited from possessing unstamped packages of little cigars containing 20 or 25 little cigars unless the wholesalers are stamping distributors. A wholesaler must be a stamping distributor to make tax exempt sales of packages of little cigars containing 20 or 25 little cigars for use outside of this State. A wholesaler who is a stamping distributor making sales of stamped packages of little cigars for use outside of this State may file a claim for credit for such sales with the Department on forms and in the manner provided by the Department. (b) For purchases of packages of little cigars containing other than 20 or 25 little cigars, wholesalers who are not stamping distributors may not purchase or possess such packages of little cigars, unless the wholesalers receive an invoice from a stamping distributor, distributor, or wholesaler stating the tax on the packages has been or will be paid. Wholesalers shall retain such invoices for inspection by the Department. Every sales invoice for packages of little cigars containing other than 20 or 25 little cigars issued by a wholesaler to a person who is not a stamping distributor shall state that the tax imposed by the Act has been or will be paid. If a wholesaler maintaining multiple wholesale locations notifies the Department in writing that it maintains its invoices at a centralized business location, the Department shall have the authority to inspect invoices at the centralized business location at all times during the usual business hours of the day and the Department may grant the wholesaler 3 business days to produce the invoices at the wholesale location at which the request was made. A wholesaler must be a stamping distributor to make tax exempt sales of packages of little cigars containing other than 20 or 25 little cigars for use outside of this State. A wholesaler who is a stamping distributor making sales of packages of little cigars containing other than 20 or 25 little cigars for use outside of this State on which the tax has been or will be paid by another stamping distributor or was paid by the wholesaler may file a claim for credit for such sales with the Department on forms and in the manner provided by the Department.
