In general, under the Internal Revenue
Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 7652, merchandise manufactured in Puerto
Rico and shipped to the United States for consumption or sale is
subject to a tax equal to the internal revenue tax imposed in the
United States upon like articles of merchandise of domestic
manufacture. That section also authorizes the Secretary of the
Treasury to issue regulations regarding the collection of such
taxes, which, as provided in that section, are largely transferred
to the treasury of Puerto Rico. Under that IRC authority, the TTB
regulations in 27 CFR part 26 require persons who intend to ship
alcohol products produced in Puerto Rico to the United States for
consumption or sale to file an application and permit to compute
the tax on, tax-pay, and withdraw those products for shipment. As
such, the TTB regulations prescribe the use of TTB F 5100.21 for
beer or wine products, and TTB F 5110.51 for distilled spirits
products. The collected information is necessary to protect the
revenue. In cases where the respondent makes the shipment taxpaid,
TTB uses the required information to verify that the respondent has
paid the correct amount of tax. In cases where the respondent is
eligible to defer the tax payment, TTB uses the information to
ensure that the respondent’s bond coverage is adequate to cover the
taxes due. If necessary, TTB also uses the collected information to
enforce collection of any tax owed to the Federal government on
such shipments.
