Short answer: Obtain A Retail Wholesale License: New Jersey doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the Certificate of Authority, backed by a Form ST-3 Resale Certificate.
New Jersey calls its seller's permit the Certificate of Authority. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form ST-3 Resale Certificate. Suppliers generally accept a resale certificate only from a buyer registered for sales tax, so even a business that mostly buys and sells wholesale usually registers. New Jersey's ST-3 resale certificate requires the buyer's New Jersey registration number for in-state buyers. Clothing, scarves and jewelry bought from wholesalers for resale can be purchased with a resale certificate, so tax is only collected when shoppers buy.
Tip: Put accessories by the register; the impulse belt has paid more rent than many a coat.
