Distilled spirits, wine, and beer may
be exported from bonded premises without payment of excise taxes,
or, they may be exported if their taxes have been paid and the
exporters may claim drawback of the taxes paid. The recordkeeping
requirement makes it possible to trace movement of distilled
spirits, wine, and beer, thus enabling TTB officers to verify the
amount of these liquors eligible for exportation without payment of
tax or exportation subject to drawback.
