Entries - TTB Form 5200.14 Phase Out

This message notifies bonded warehouse proprietors of updated procedures for U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) processing of domestic non-tax paid (DNTP) tobacco products destined for customs bonded warehouses. Currently, bonded warehouses may be utilizing the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau's (TTB) Substitute Form 5200.14 (TTB 5200.14) in lieu of a CBP Form 3461 or electronic alternative to formally enter DNTP tobacco products into bonded warehouses. To better track and record all movements into bonded warehouses, the use of the TTB 5200.14 will be discontinued as of January 31, 2018.
Commencing on February 1, 2018, bonded warehouse proprietors must file all entries using an electronic entry in ACE backed by a commercial invoice and any additional supporting documents (e.g., packing list). Electronic filings in ACE and the Document Imaging System (DIS) are the preferred method.
