General Information Regarding Sellers of ENDS into Connecticut

Generally, in addition to requiring the filing of monthly reports with DRS on or before the 10th day of each calendar month, the PACT Act, as amended, prohibits the shipment and transport of ENDS through U.S. mail (USPS); prohibits the online sale of ENDS to anyone under the legal age limit (in Connecticut, the legal age limit is 21 years of age); and requires package labeling, payment of state taxes and compliance with state laws. See Taxpayer Services Special Bulletin TSSB 2021-3, Federal PACT Act Requirements Expanded to Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) for more detailed information.
