The DSP operations bond on TTB F 5110.56 written to cover a distilled spirits area — operations coverage scoped to the area TTB defines rather than a single plant — under 27 CFR part 19. We issue it at a flat 3% with no credit pull on standard amounts.
















No underwriting queue for a standard operations bond — enter your penal sum, pay, and file with the TTB. Here is the whole thing:
Your area details, the operations penal sum TTB requires, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
Standard amounts issue as soon as you pay. Larger penal sums may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
Submit the executed bond (TTB F 5110.56) with your DSP application for the area. Wet-ink originals mailed when needed.
Penal sum × 3% = your premium, one-time per term, $275 minimum. Enter the operations amount TTB requires and the premium updates.
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 at a flat 3%.
