What it is and who needs it.
What the area operations bond covers
The distilled spirits operations bond on TTB F 5110.56 can be scoped to a distilled spirits area — the operations coverage applies to the area TTB defines rather than to a single named plant. It secures the federal excise tax on spirits held in bond across that area under 27 CFR part 19, subpart F.
Choosing the area version versus the one-plant version is a matter of how TTB has defined your premises and what your application calls for. The pricing and the underlying guarantee are the same: the bond stands behind the tax that could be outstanding at one time.
An important caveat: since January 1, 2017, 26 U.S.C. 5551(d) exempts proprietors who reasonably expect to owe no more than $50,000 in distilled spirits excise tax for the year (and owed no more than that the prior year) from furnishing a bond. If TTB has asked you for a bond, or you fall outside that exemption, we issue it from $100.
