Unregulated transfers or sales of
processed tobacco to persons who do not hold TTB permits could lead
to processed tobacco falling into the hands of persons who would be
unknown and unaccountable to TTB, including illegal manufacturers.
In order to better regulate processed tobacco and prevent
diversion, TTB requires the filing of a report covering all such
transfers or sales. This report is used to protect the
revenue.
