Abstract: Importers of tobacco products or processed tobacco are required to maintain records of physical receipts and disposition of tobacco products or processed tobacco to be able to prepare TTB Form 5220.6 (a monthly report). Importers of tobacco products and processed tobacco will consist of both large and small businesses that operate for profit.

Emergency Justfication: On February 4, 2009, President Obama signed into law the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-3, 123 Stat. 8 (“the Act”). Section 702 of the Act included amendments to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC) to extend permit, inventory, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements to include processed tobacco, even though such processed tobacco is not subject to excise tax under the IRC. We are requesting an emergency approval of 1513-0106 to adhere to the change in the law. ICRs are being amended or created to reflect the new requirements related to permits, inventory, reporting, and recordkeeping associated with processed tobacco. TTB plans to issue regulation amendments to implement the changes as soon as possible. Corresponding changes will be made throughout the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau website as appropriate. Thank you for your assistance.
