state on behalf of such person, for the account of that person, or

facilities other than a qualified terminal, shall first make

application for and obtain either an occasional importer's license,

is expressly evidenced on the terminal-issued shipping

paper as more specifically provided under Section

subject to the bonding requirements of subsection B of Section

500.35 of this title, a valid bonded importer's license under

paragraph 1 of this subsection. In either event, the person shall:

collection of destination state tax by the terminal supplier in

accordance with terminal-issued shipping papers designating the

intended state of destination, then the importer shall be ineligible

for a license to import motor fuel outside the bulk transfer system

from the other state, and any license to so import from the other

state shall be rendered invalid.

G. Each person who is an importer of motor fuel into this state

by a tank wagon operating out of or controlling a bulk plant in

twenty-five (25) miles of the border of this state, shall make

application for and obtain a license from the Commission prior to

engaging in such importation activities. However, registration as a

tank wagon operator-importer shall not constitute authorization of

such persons to acquire nonexempt motor fuel free of the tax imposed

by this act at a terminal either within this state or without this

state for direct delivery to a location in this state. Any person

who possesses a valid importer's license shall be eligible as a tank

wagon operator-importer without issuance of a separate license

provided the importer also operates one or more bulk plants outside

operator or exporter license.
