Abstract: In general, under chapter 52 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes manufactured in, or imported into, the United States are subject to Federal excise tax while tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes removed for export, and all processed tobacco, are not subject to that tax. Additionally, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5722 requires export warehouse proprietors to provide reports regarding such articles, in such form, at such times, and for such periods as the Secretary prescribes by regulation. Under that authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 44 require export warehouse proprietors to file a monthly operations report using form TTB F 5220.4, Report—Proprietor of Export Warehouse, listing the amount of tobacco products, cigarette papers and tubes, and processed tobacco received, removed, lost, or unaccounted for during a given month. The collected information is necessary to protect the revenue as it allows TTB to detect diversion of those untaxed articles to taxable uses. These reports also allow TTB to verify compliance with Federal laws and regulations related to the removal and export of such articles.
