6627 Environmental Taxes

Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING
This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or
publication, which the IRS is providing for your information as a courtesy.
Do not file draft forms. Also, do not rely on draft forms, instructions, and
publications for filing. We generally do not release drafts of forms until we
believe we have incorporated all changes. However, unexpected issues
sometimes arise, or legislation is passed, necessitating a change to a draft
form. In addition, forms generally are subject to OMB approval before they
can be officially released. Drafts of instructions and publications usually
have at least some changes before being officially released.
Early release drafts are at IRS.gov/DraftForms, and may remain there
even after the final release is posted at IRS.gov/DownloadForms. All
information about all forms, instructions, and pubs is at IRS.gov/Forms.
Almost every form and publication also has its own page on IRS.gov. For
example, the Form 1040 page is at IRS.gov/Form1040; the Publication 17
page is at IRS.gov/Pub17; the Form W-4 page is at IRS.gov/W4; and the
Schedule A (Form 1040) page is at IRS.gov/ScheduleA. If typing in a link
above instead of clicking on it, be sure to type the link into the address bar
of your browser, not in a Search box. Note that these are friendly shortcut
links that will automatically go to the actual link for the page.
If you wish, you can submit comments about draft or final forms,
instructions, or publications at IRS.gov/FormsComments. We cannot
respond to all comments due to the high volume we receive. Please note that
we may not be able to consider many suggestions until the subsequent
revision of the product.

Part III. ODC Tax on Imported Products,
IRS No. 19
An imported taxable product is any product entered into the
United States for consumption, use, or warehousing if any
ODC was used as material in the manufacture or production
of the product. The product must also be listed in the
imported products table issued by the IRS. See Regulations
section 52.4682-3(f)(6). The tax is based on the weight of
ODCs used in the manufacture of the product. If the weight
cannot be determined under the exact method or table
method (see below), the tax is 1% of the entry value of the
product (value method).
Importer election. Generally, an imported taxable product is
taxed when it is sold or used by the importer. However, an
importer may elect to treat the entry of products into the
United States as the use of such products. This election
applies to all products held by the importer when the
election becomes effective. It also applies to all products the
importer enters into the United States after the election
becomes effective. If an election applies to an imported
taxable product, tax is imposed on the product on the date
of entry. To make the election, check the box in Part III,
under Election. This election may be revoked only with the
consent of the IRS.

CAUTION

The tax per pound rates above are figured using
the ozone-depletion factor. Do not multiply the tax
per pound by the ozone-depletion factor.

Mixture elections. Generally, the creation of a mixture
containing one or more ODCs by the manufacturer or
importer of an ODC is treated as the use of the ODC in the
mixture. However, the manufacturer or importer may elect to
treat the sale or use of the mixture as the first sale or use of
the ODC in the mixture.
Post-1989 ODCs (the 1990 election). If this election
is made, the tax on the post-1989 ODCs (listed earlier)
contained in the mixture is imposed on the date of sale or
use of the mixture. To make the election, check the first box
in Part II, under Elections. This election may be revoked only
with the consent of the IRS.
Post-1990 ODCs (the 1991 election). If this election
is made, the tax on the post-1990 ODCs (listed earlier)
contained in the mixture is imposed on the date of sale or
use of the mixture. To make the election, check the second
box in Part II, under Elections. This election may be revoked
only with the consent of the IRS.
Column (c). Enter the tax per pound using the chart earlier.

Figure the ODC weight of the product as follows.
Exact method. If you determine the weight of each ODC
used as a material in the manufacture of the product and you
can support this determination, the ODC weight is the weight
you determine.
Table method. If you don’t use the exact method and the
ODC weight is listed in the imported products table, use the
ODC weight listed to figure the tax. See Pub. 510 for more
information.

Figure the tax for Part III.
Column (a). Enter the imported product and the
applicable ODC. Use additional lines if there is more than
one ODC.
Column (b). Enter the number of taxable products
imported.
Column (c). Enter the ODC weight of the product in
pounds. If you are using the value method, don’t complete
this column.
Column (d). Enter the tax per pound from the chart in the
instructions for Part II, earlier. If you are using the value
method, enter 1% (0.01).
Column (e). If you are using the value method to figure the
tax, enter the entry value of the total number of imported
products.
Column (f). Figure the tax due by multiplying the number
of products in column (b) by the ODC weight in column (c) by
the tax per pound in column (d). If you are using the value
method, multiply the 1% (0.01) rate in column (d) by the
entry value in column (e).
