Vessels in Interstate or Foreign Commerce

Petroleum products sold to vessels engaged in interstate or foreign commerce are not subject to the fee. The seller of a petroleum product shall not charge the fee if the person ordering the withdrawal from bulk verifies that the product will be used in a vessel engaged in interstate or foreign commerce. Verification can be a copy of a federal permit, license or registration. Vessels engaged in interstate commerce include barges and tugboats licensed as carriers by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
