Seller's Permit

Exhibitors who participate in any of ISE's California shows must inform ISE of their status with the State of California Board of Equalization. The Board will be on-site at each California show to audit and verify your status.

Please read the following:

  1. Update or obtain your Seller's Permit from the California Board of Equalization. If you are doing retail sales of goods or taking deposits on goods, but you do not have a valid Seller's permit number: please call the Board of Equalization office listed below and start the application process. There is no fee. When you get the number, please send, fax or call ISE with the number (the BOE-410-D form may be used to mail or fax your number to ISE).

  2. If you are EXEMPT from having a number: You have talked with the Board office and verified that you are exempt. Please COMPLETE FORM BOE-410-D and mail or fax it to ISE. The Board uses the BOE-410-D form to document the reason for your exemption. It must be filled out completely and signed. Please indicate the reason for your exemption.

  3. ISE is required to give the permit number or BOE-410-D form to the Board of Equalization. This could involve your driving to the Board office before registering and setting-up at the show.

YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO REGISTER OR SET UP UNTIL ISE RECEIVES A CURRENT SELLER'S PERMIT NUMBER OR COMPLETED BOE-410-D FORM.

WARNINGS!

ISE recommends the application process be started by NOVEMBER 4, 2005. The application process for the Temporary Seller's Permit is easy and straightforward. This permit is valid for all ISE shows in California if you include the dates for all shows in your application.

The BOE-410-D is not the application for the permit; it is merely the form ISE submits to the Board explaining why you do not need a number. Please send/fax in a copy of your completed BOE-410-D form or a copy of your California Seller's permit to ISE by December 3, 2005.

Please note that a temporary sellers permit is open for 60 days. We suggest that you apply for the dates of January 5, 2005 to March 8, 2005.

Board of Equalization: Can be contacted via their web-site: www.boe.ca.gov and required forms may be downloaded for your use. Call Sabrina at ISE if you have questions.
