What is this bond?

A Federal Export Bond for Distilled Spirits (Specific Export) is a surety bond that guarantees distilled spirits withdrawn without tax payment are genuinely exported out of the United States. It ensures that if the spirits are instead diverted into the domestic market, the responsible party will pay all owed federal excise taxes.

Who needs it?

Proprietors of distilled spirits plants, bonded wine cellars, or authorized exporters who withdraw distilled spirits for a single, specific export shipment generally need this bond. It is required for businesses looking to defer or avoid domestic excise taxes on specific shipments of alcohol intended strictly for foreign markets.

Why is it required?

Federal agencies generally require this bond to protect government tax revenues from domestic diversion. It provides a financial guarantee that domestic excise taxes will be paid if the tax-exempt alcohol is not properly exported as claimed. Exact federal requirements vary, so applicants should verify their specific needs directly with the regulating agency.
