Holders of an exporter's license shall pay or accrue the destination state's tax, if any, to their suppliers. In the event that a licensed exporter diverts taxable petroleum products removed from a terminal in this state from an intended destination outside this state, as shown on the terminal issued shipping papers, to a destination inside this state, such exporter, in addition to compliance with the notification provided for by § 67-3-806, shall notify and pay the taxes and fees imposed under part 2 of this chapter to the department upon the same terms and conditions as if the exporter were a bonded importer without deduction for the allowances provided by §§ 67-3-508 and 67-3-509.
In the event that an exporter removes from a bulk plant in this state taxable petroleum products as to which the taxes and fees imposed by this chapter have previously been paid or accrued, such exporter may apply for and the state shall issue a refund of such taxes and fees, except the export tax, upon a showing of proof of export satisfactory to the department in conformity with § 67-3-802, net of the allowances provided by § 67-3-509.
All licensed importers shall otherwise report and pay the taxes and fees, in the manner provided by § 67-3-502, on diversions into this state of imported product; provided, that no § 67-3-509 allowances shall be deducted with respect to diverted shipments.
In the event of a legal diversion from a destination in this state to another state, § 67-3-804 shall apply, and an unlicensed exporter diverting the product shall first pay taxes and fees on the fuel before exporting such fuel, and may apply for a refund from this state for the taxes and fees paid, less the § 67-3-509 allowance.
In the event that a state involved in a cross-border shipment has entered into a multi-state compact with this state, the diverter shall pay or seek refund only upon the difference in state taxes with notice to both states upon proof shown of payment to the actual destination state. The department shall establish procedures for making this adjustment and prepare a list of those states that meet these criteria.
