The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26
U.S.C. 5214(a)(6) and 5362(c)(4) authorizes the transfer without
payment of Federal excise tax of, respectively, distilled spirits
and wine from a bonded premises to certain customs bonded
warehouses for subsequent exportation. However, to protect the
revenue, the customs laws at 19 U.S.C. 1311 requires bonds for such
transfers of non-taxpaid goods. To provide proprietors of
manufacturing bonded warehouses with operational flexibility based
on individual need, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau
(TTB) alcohol export regulations in 27 CFR part 28 allow the filing
of either a specific transportation bond using form TTB F 5100.12
to cover a single shipment from a bonded premises to a
manufacturing bonded warehouse, or a continuing transportation bond
using form TTB F 5110.67 to cover multiple shipments.
