The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5704(c) provides for the release of imported 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, while the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5704(d) provides that tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes previously exported and then returned to customs custody may be released, without payment of tax, to their original manufacturer or an authorized export warehouse proprietor. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5741 requires manufactures of tobacco products, processed tobacco, or cigarette papers and tubes, importers, and export warehouse proprietors to keep records as the Secretary prescribes by regulation. Under those IRC sections, all such releases and records must be made in accordance with regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. Therefore, under those IRC authorities, 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 from customs custody. At importation or return, 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 1513â0064, Importer's Records and Reports.)
