(1) A supplier who may also act as a terminal operator, permissive supplier, distributor, importer, exporter, blender, motor fuel transporter, or aviation fuel dealer without securing a separate license but who is subject to all other conditions, requirements, and liabilities imposed on those license holders.

(2) A permissive supplier who may also act as a distributor, importer, exporter, blender, motor fuel transporter, or aviation fuel dealer without securing a separate license but who is subject to all other conditions, requirements, and liabilities imposed on those license holders.

(3) A distributor who may also act as an importer, exporter, blender, or motor fuel transporter without securing a separate license but who is subject to all other conditions, requirements, and liabilities imposed on those license holders.

(4) An importer who may also act as an exporter, blender, or motor fuel transporter without securing a separate license but who is subject to all other conditions, requirements, and liabilities imposed on those license holders.

(5) A terminal operator.

(8) A blender.

(9) An interstate motor fuel user.

B. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, persons dealing solely in tax and fee paid product below the terminal rack shall not be required to be licensed. However, to be eligible to defer state excise tax or to receive the discount from the supplier or permissive supplier, or to be eligible for a refund of tax paid, the applicant must be registered with the department as an importer or distributor. In order for an applicant to make a claim for a refund of taxes paid, the applicant shall be licensed as required in this Part.
