Abstract: Chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) imposes Federal excise taxes on alcohol beverages imported into the United States, but exports of such products from the United States are generally not taxes. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 7652 applies an equal tax to such products from Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands imported into the United States, but that section also requires the return of most of the taxes collected on such products to the treasuries of the two governments. Under its IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 parts 26, 27, and 28 require persons exporting or importing alcohol beverages from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands to file certain letterhead applications and notices, and to keep certain records, regarding such activities. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue and ensure compliance with Federal laws and regulations. For alcohol beverages exported or imported from Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands, the required information allows TTB to trace shipments of such products, verify excise tax payments and claims for refunds, and calculate payments due to the treasuries of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
