The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26
U.S.C. 5704 provides for, among other things, the release of
imported or returned tobacco products and cigarette papers and
tubes from customs custody, without payment of tax, for delivery to
an export warehouse proprietor or a manufacturer of tobacco
products or cigarette papers and tubes, in accordance with
regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. Under that IRC
authority, the TTB tobacco-related import regulations in 27 CFR
part 41 require industry members who do not file customs entries
electronically to use TTB F 5200.11 to give notice of release of
tobacco products, cigarette papers, or cigarette tubes. At
importation, industry members, TTB, and customs bonded warehouse
proprietors or government officials use TTB F 5200.11 to,
respectively, request, authorize, and document the release of such
products from customs custody, without payment of tax, to a
manufacturer or export warehouse proprietor authorized to receive
such articles. (The electronic submission of import data and
notices of release to TTB through Customs and Border Protection
systems is approved under OMB Number 1513–0064, Importer's Records
and Reports.)
