Regulations and Guidance
TTB to Remove Obsolete Tobacco Floor Stocks Tax Regulations
In a final rule published on September 29, 2025, we announce that we will remove obsolete regulations related to the 2009 tobacco floor stocks tax from the regulations in 27 CFR part 46, subpart I on November 28, 2025, unless we receive adverse comments by October 29, 2025. We determined that these regulations are no longer necessary because they implemented a tax that applied only to specified tobacco articles held for sale on April 1, 2009, and which was required to be paid on or before August 1, 2009.
TTB Establishes the Tryon Foothills American Viticultural Area in North Carolina
In T.D. TTB-202, a final rule published on September 29, 2025, we establish the approximately 176-square mile “Tryon Foothills” American viticultural area (AVA) in Polk County, North Carolina. The Tryon Foothills AVA is not located within, nor does it contain, any other established AVA. We designate AVAs to allow vintners to better describe the origin of their wines and to allow consumers to better identify wines they may purchase. This final rule is effective October 29, 2025.
TTB Finalizes CBMA Tax Benefit Refund Procedures for Imported Alcohol
In a final rule published on Monday, September 22, 2025, we are making permanent, with two changes, the previously published temporary regulations relating to reduced excise tax rates and tax credits for imported distilled spirits, wines, and beer established under the Craft Beverage Modernization Act (CBMA), as amended. The final rule makes permanent the temporary provisions outlining the process for foreign producers to assign reduced excise tax rates and tax credits to importers, and for importers to accept and apply the assigned tax benefits to imported products. This final rule will generally not affect the processes in the myTTB CBMA imports module used by foreign producers and U.S. importers, except that foreign producers will now have an additional calendar quarter to submit their CBMA tax benefit assignments for a given calendar year to TTB (from December 31 to March 31 of the following the year). The final rule also clarifies that only the foreign producer who produces the distilled spirits, wine, or beer product may assign the applicable tax benefits to U.S. importers. See Craft Beverage Modernization Act (CBMA) Import Resources to learn more.
