Quarterly tonnage is due for animal feed ingredients, livestock products, pet and specialty pet products in packages over 10 lbs., pet and specialty pet products offered unpackaged by bulk. This blank form is for example only. Our office mails the tonnage form to current feed licensees and must be completed and returned to our office with payment before each due date to avoid late fees.
Tonnage is $0.40 per ton per calendar quarter with a minimum fee of $5 per calendar quarter. If the quarterly tonnage form is late there are late fees that apply. The late fee is ten percent (10%) of the amount due or fifty dollars ($50), whichever is greater.
Please contact us if you have not received your tonnage report. Please include the company name and license number to:

Common Questions
What products fall under tonnage?
All livestock products. Also, any pet or specialty pet products in packages over 10 lbs or offered to end consumers unpackaged/by bulk.
What are the quarterly tonnage due dates?
- 1st quarter due by April 30
- 2nd quarter due by July 31
- 3rd quarter due by October 31
- 4th quarter due by January 31
What is meant by "offered to the end consumer prepackages vs. unpackaged by bulk"?
Think of the two different ways donuts are offered for sale:
- You can purchase a bag or box of donuts, this is prepackaged. This would be $50 per product annually.
- You can purchase donuts from a display case. This would be unpackaged or by bulk and would fit under quarterly tonnage.
If I sell my product unpackaged/by bulk, can I put them in a bag or box for the customer to take with them?
Yes.
If I sell my product online and make them once the customer places an order, can this be tonnage?
Yes.
Is the $5 minimum quarterly tonnage per product?
No. The $5 minimum is total, if less than 25,000 pounds of product is sold in a calendar quarter (three months).
