In general, under the Internal Revenue
Code at 26 U.S.C. 7652(a)(1), merchandise manufactured in Puerto
Rico and shipped to the United States for consumption or sale is
subject to a tax equal to the internal revenue tax imposed in the
United States upon like articles of merchandise of domestic
manufacture. Under this authority, in order to protect the revenue,
the TTB regulations require, among other things, the use of TTB F
5100.21 and TTB F 5110.51 by persons shipping wine, beer, and
certain distilled spirits products produced in Puerto Rico to the
United States for domestic consumption or sale. TTB F 5100.21 is an
application and permit to compute the Federal excise tax on,
tax-pay, and withdraw wine or beer for shipment to the United
States. TTB F 5110.51 is an application and permit to compute the
tax on, tax-pay, and withdraw for shipment to the United States
certain distilled spirits products.
