However, if the supplier has made a blanket election to pre-collect the user fee under § 12-28-910(B), he is jointly liable with the importer for the user fee and shall remit the user fee to the department on behalf of the importer under the same terms as a supplier payment under § 12-28-915, and no import verification number is required.
