Tobacco products and cigarette papers
and tubes are taxed under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. These items can be removed without the payment of tax if
they are for the use of the United States. In order to safeguard
taxes, tobacco products manufacturers are required to maintain a
system of records designed to establish accountability over the
tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes produced. Records
must be retained by the manufacturer for 3 years following the
close of the year covered therein and must be made available for
inspection by any TTB officer upon his/her request.
