The withdrawal bond the TTB can require from a distilled spirits plant under 27 CFR part 19, on TTB F 5110.56. It secures the excise tax on spirits withdrawn from bond before the tax is paid — deferred to a later return. We issue it at a flat 3% — enter the penal sum TTB requires.
















No underwriting queue for a standard withdrawal bond — enter your penal sum, pay, and file with the TTB. Here is the whole thing:
Your plant details, the withdrawal 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. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever TTB insists.
Penal sum × 3% = your premium, one-time per term, $275 minimum. Enter the withdrawal amount TTB requires and the premium updates.
When a distilled spirits plant withdraws spirits from bond before paying the excise tax — deferring the tax to a periodic return — the TTB wants that deferred liability secured. The withdrawal bond on TTB F 5110.56 does that under 27 CFR part 19, subpart F, standing behind the tax that has accrued but not yet been paid.
It is distinct from the operations bond (which covers spirits still in bond at the plant) and the unit bond (which covers both operations and withdrawal in one). The penal sum is generally tied to the maximum deferred tax that could be outstanding at one time given your return period.
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 withdrawal bond, or you fall outside that exemption, we issue it at a flat 3%.
