The tobacco product manufacturer or
export warehouse proprietor is liable for the tax on tobacco
products until execution of the certification by Customs or an
authorized receiving officer on TTB F 5200.14, which indicates
verification of export or bonded transfer. TTB needs this

properly completed, TTB will assess the tax on the manufacturer of
tobacco products or cigarette papers and tubes or on the proprietor
of the export warehouse or customs manufacturing warehouse for
products not exported or properly disposed of.

The renewal of this information
collection is also intended to correct errors in the designation of
categories of affected public made in the previous submission.
Categories were created in error for "individuals or households"
and "Federal government" for which the burden was distributed.
There is only one category of affect public for TTB Form 5200.14
and it is categorized as private sector: businesses or other
for-profits. The removal of the ICs were designated as program
changes (-22,000 hours) and the addition of the hours previously
reported under the different categories of affected public have
been added as an adjustment in estimate (+22,000). Also, an
adjustment in the number of proprietors have increased from 272 to
280; an adjustment of an additional 1,760 hours has been added. The
correction to the categories of the affect public did not change
the burden of from previous approved submission. The revision to
the burden stems from the increase in the number of respondents for
an increase of 1,760 for a total of 61,600 burden hours
requested.
