The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26
U.S.C. 5062 authorizes drawback (refund) of the Federal excise tax
on distilled spirits and wines exported from the United States,
under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury
regarding evidence of the product’s tax payment or determination
and exportation. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax
and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 28 require
drawback claims filed by wine exporters to be accompanied by the
producer’s or bottler’s certification, filed on TTB F 5120.20, that
the listed wines were produced in the United States and taxpaid or
determined upon withdrawal. The collected information is necessary
to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to prevent the payment of
unverified drawback claims.
