The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has launched their “myTTB” system for Craft Beverage Modernization Act (CBMA) foreign producer registrations for imported products.

TTB will assume responsibility on January 1, 2023 for administering the CBMA tax benefits for imported alcohol. Importers will now pay the full tax rate at entry and subsequently submit refund claims to TTB to receive the lower rates.

Foreign producers, using the myTTB system, may now register and use the system to make assignments to importers for calendar year 2023. TTB has released a user guide for the new system, which provides step-by-step instructions for the foreign producer registration and tax benefit assignment processes.

Information for importers submitting CBMTRA claims starting in 2023 will be provided at a later date. For more information, see TTB’s CBMA Imports page.
