The Merchant Category Code (MCC) 3121 is specifically designated for **Tobacco Stores and Stands**. This code categorizes businesses that sell tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, and other nicotine-related items. It is used by payment processors and financial institutions to classify and manage transactions related to these types of retail establishments, ensuring accurate accounting and compliance with regulatory requirements. Businesses operating under MCC 3121 are typically required to adhere to specific guidelines and restrictions related to the sale of tobacco products, particularly in terms of age verification and health warnings. This code is essential for merchants in the tobacco industry to ensure seamless payment processing and regulatory compliance.
