About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the unit bond actually covers

A unit bond is the all-in-one option for a distilled spirits plant: a single bond on TTB F 5110.56 that combines operations coverage (spirits in bond at the plant) and withdrawal coverage (deferred tax on spirits removed before payment) under one penal sum, under 27 CFR part 19, subpart F.

For many DSPs the unit bond is simpler than filing separate operations and withdrawal bonds — one filing, one premium, one penal sum covering the full liability that could be outstanding at one time. TTB sets that penal sum based on your operation.

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 unit bond, or you fall outside that exemption, we issue it at a flat 3%.

27 CFR Part 19, Subpart F / TTB F 5110.56The distilled spirits unit bond is filed on TTB F 5110.56 under 27 CFR part 19, subpart F, combining operations and withdrawal coverage in one filing and securing the federal excise tax under 26 U.S.C. Chapter 51. Since January 1, 2017, 26 U.S.C. 5551(d) exempts proprietors expecting not more than $50,000 in excise tax for the year (and liable for not more than that the prior year). Confirm your requirement and penal sum with TTB.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

What is a unit bond? +
A single distilled spirits bond on Form 5110.56 that combines operations coverage (spirits in bond at the plant) and withdrawal coverage (deferred tax on spirits removed before payment) under one penal sum. For many DSPs it is simpler than filing two separate bonds.
How much is it? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the penal sum, with a $275 minimum. TTB sets the unit penal sum based on the full spirits-tax liability that could be outstanding at one time across operations and withdrawal. Enter that figure and the quote updates.
Do I even need a bond anymore? +
Maybe not. 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). If TTB has asked you for a bond, or you fall outside that exemption, we issue it.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on standard amounts — the unit bond issues without a credit pull for typical penal sums. Larger amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score and informs approval, not price.
Unit bond or separate operations and withdrawal bonds? +
A unit bond covers both in one filing, which is usually simpler. Separate bonds make sense if your operation only needs one type of coverage. Send us your situation and we will confirm which is right.
