About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the specific export bond covers

When distilled spirits are removed from bond without payment of the federal excise tax for the purpose of export, the tax stays at risk until the export is actually documented. The TTB requires a bond to secure that tax under 27 CFR part 28, and the specific version on TTB F 5100.30 covers a single shipment.

The specific bond is the right choice for an occasional or one-off export, rather than the continuing bond used by regular exporters. The penal sum is set to cover the tax on the spirits in that shipment; once the export is documented, the bond’s obligation is satisfied.

Because the original bond must be signed by the principal before it is filed with the obligee, we mail the original for signature. Enter the tax on your shipment — pricing starts from $100, and the application collects no credit information.
