In general, the Internal Revenue Code
(IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5041 imposes Federal excise tax on wine produced
or imported into the United States, while section 5362(c) allows
domestic wine to be exported, transferred to a foreign trade zone,
or used on certain vessels and aircraft without payment of that
tax. In the case of taxpaid domestic wine that is subsequently
exported, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5062(b) provides that exporters of
such wine may claim “drawback” (refund) of the Federal excise tax
paid or determined on the exported wine. Under the Alcohol and
Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulationsin 27 CFR Part 28,
Exportation of Alcohol, exporters of taxpaid domestic wine use form
TTB F 5120.24 to document the wine’s exportation and to submit
drawback claims for the Federal excise taxes paid on the exported
wine. TTB uses the provided information to determine if the
exported wine is eligible for drawback and to verify the amount of
drawback claimed by the exporter. This information collection is
necessary to protect the revenue.
