Under the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5511, alcohol excise taxes and most other provisions of chapter 51 of the IRC do not apply to such concentrates if their manufacturers keep records and meet certain other requirements prescribed by regulation. Under that IRC authority, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 18 require volatile fruit-flavor concentrate manufacturers to submit an annual summary report, using form TTB F 5520.2, accounting for all such products produced, removed, or made unfit for beverage use. Such manufacturers compile this report from usual and customary business, which, under the regulations, respondents must retain for 3 years.
