the distribution on its monthly report or return and pay the tax due. Each package of such sample cigarettes shall have
imprinted on it: "Not for Sale. Applicable state tax has been paid." and each package of sample tobacco products shall be
clearly marked as a sample.
Cigarette manufacturers shall notify the Board in writing in advance of the sampling, giving information as to the approximate
date or dates, location or locations, brand, and method of distribution.
