Under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC)
at 26 U.S.C. 5055, brewers may receive drawback (refund) of the
Federal excise tax paid on beer produced in the United States when
such beer is exported or delivered for use as supplies on vessels
and aircraft, if proof of such action is provided as the Secretary
of the Treasury (the Secretary) may by regulation require. Under
this authority, after taxpaid domestic beer is exported to a
foreign country, delivered to the U.S. Armed Forces for export,
delivered for use as supplies on vessels or aircraft, or
transferred to a foreign trade zone for subsequent exportation, the
TTB regulations allow the brewer or exporter to file a claim for
drawback of the excise taxes paid on such beer using TTB F 5130.6.
The required information is necessary to protect the revenue; it
provides TTB with documentation through which TTB can determine
that beer for which drawback is claimed is eligible for such
drawback.
