Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5005(c), when a proprietor of a distilled spirits plant (DSP) or an alcohol fuel plant (AFP, a type of DSP) desires to have spirits or denatured spirits transferred to their plant from another domestic plant, the proprietor must make an application to receive such spirits in bond. Under this authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 19 require that the receiving proprietor file an application for the transfer on TTB F 5100.16, Application for Transfer of Spirits and/or Denatured Spirits in Bond. TTB must approve the application before the transfer may occur. With the submission of this form TTB, can ensure that the receiving plant has adequate bond coverage or, for certain small alcohol excise taxpayers, is exempt from such bond coverage.
