In general, export warehouses store
untaxpaid tobacco products, processed tobacco, and cigarette papers
and tubes until these commodities are exported. Under the authority
of the Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C. 5741, the TTB regulations
require certain records of receipt and disposition of these
commodities in order to protect the revenue and prevent diversion.
The required records allow TTB to verify that the commodities have
been exported or that Federal tobacco excise tax liabilities have
been satisfied.
