CBMA Imports: 1st Quarter Claims Can Now Be Filed
Importers seeking refunds based on Craft Beverage Modernization Act (CBMA) tax benefits assigned to them by foreign producers were able to begin filing claims in myTTB on Monday, April 1, for products entered into the United States between January 1 and March 31.
We have published a user guide that provides step-by-step instructions for submitting claims in the myTTB CBMA Importer Claims System through the regular claims submission process. The user guide is available on the CBMA Imports page at TTB.gov. We have also published an alternate procedure and accompanying user guide for submitting claims in limited circumstances in which the regular claims process cannot be used.
To access the myTTB CBMA Importer Claims system, importers must first create their myTTB account, activate their entity in myTTB, and authorize users to prepare and submit claims. Visit our Getting Started in myTTB page for more details and instructions.
For additional information about CBMA importer refund claims, please visit our CBMA Imports page at TTB.gov.
