Requirements to Buy
All pure alcohol is subject to TTB regulation
- Shipments may be made with payment of tax, against your Industrial Alcohol User Permit or as a transfer in bond from our DSP to yours. The requirements for each type of shipment are as follows:
Tax Paid (No Permit):
- Cannot be used for beverage or re-packaged/processed in its pure form for resale (includes re-labelling - refer to our disclaimer). First Purchase Order must clearly show the Excise Tax amount for product requested ($13.34 per proof gallon). Taxes are collected and remitted to the US Government by Greenfield Global USA, as required by a Distilled Spirits Plant (DSP) making taxable removals.
Tax Free (Industrial Alcohol User Permit):
- Permit issued by TTB must be in good standing and have a sufficient proof gallon limit to cover your orders for the entire calendar year. Upon placing your first order, you must provide us with a copy of the permit - signed, dated, and marked 'COPY.' We will only be able to ship to the physical address that's listed on your permit (or any attached list of approved addresses). Each purchase order submitted to us must also explicitly state what your permit number is and that it's valid. We should be made aware of any subsequent amendments to your permit if you continue to order from us. Any shipments that exceed your annual limit will be assessed excise tax at your request, or you can choose to wait and have you permit limit increased. Please see the TTB's site on Tax Free Alcohol for more details: https://ttb.gov/industrial/taxfree_alcohol.shtml
Transfer in Bond (Form 5100.16):
- If you are a DSP that wishes to transfer spirts from our bonded premise to yours, an approved 5100.16 Application for Transfer of Spirits in Bond form must be provided. We can only ship to whatever address is listed on the approval. We will not be able to process any orders that are in excess of the proof gallon limit you are provided with - that limit is based on your operations bond coverage and should be used to determine the maximum proof gallons you can collectively have in your inventory and/or in transit to your DSP at any given time. If you are claiming the PATH Act bond waiver, you are given an total annual limit of 3,703.7 proof gallons, calculated from the $50,000 worth of coverage the government is allowing.
