In general, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5041 imposes Federal excise tax on wine produced or imported into the United States, while section 5362(c) allows domestic wine to be exported, transferred to a foreign trade zone, or used on certain vessels and aircraft without payment of that tax. In the case of taxpaid domestic wine that is subsequently exported, the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5062(b) provides that exporters of such wine may claim âdrawbackâ (refund) of the Federal excise tax paid or determined on the exported wine. Under the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulationsin 27 CFR Part 28, Exportation of Alcohol, exporters of taxpaid domestic wine use form TTB F 5120.24 to document the wineâs exportation and to submit drawback claims for the Federal excise taxes paid on the exported wine. TTB uses the provided information to determine if the exported wine is eligible for drawback and to verify the amount of drawback claimed by the exporter. This information collection is necessary to protect the revenue.
