Removals of Tobacco Products, and Cigarette Papers and Tubes without Payment of Tax

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5704(b) provides that a manufacturer or export warehouse proprietor may, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary, transfer tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes, without payment of tax, to the bonded premises of another such entity, or may remove such articles, without payment of tax, for export or consumption beyond the jurisdiction of the internal revenue laws of the United States. In addition, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5722 requires that manufacturers of tobacco product and cigarette papers and tubes and export warehouse proprietors make reports as the Secretary may by regulation require. Under those IRC authorities, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 44 require manufacturers and export warehouse proprietors to report each such removal to TTB on form TTB F 5200.14, or, under the alternate procedure described in TTB Industry Circular 2004-3, respondents may submit a Monthly Summary Report of such removals provided that the export of each removal is documented by records maintained at the respondent's premises. Respondents also submit letterhead notices to modify certain information on previously-submitted TTB F 5200.1 forms, and they also submit letterhead applications to request TTB authorization to use the alternative Monthly Summary Report procedure. The collected information allows TTB to account for removals of tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes made without payment of tax and assists in preventing the diversion of such articles to otherwise taxable uses. As such, the collected information is necessary to protect the revenue.
