27 C.F.R. § 20.161 Withdrawals under permit.
Title 27 - Alcohol, Tobacco Products and Firearms
(a) General. The permit, Form 5150.9, issued under subpart D of this part, authorizes a person to withdraw specially denatured spirits from the bonded premises of a distilled spirits plant or a dealer. If the permittee is located in a foreign-trade zone, the permit will be qualified so that the permittee may obtain domestic specially denatured spirits only. The alcohol in domestic denatured spirits must be produced entirely in the United States, including Puerto Rico. (b) Photocopying of permit, Form 5150.9. (1) As provided in §20.54, a permittee may make photocopies of its permit, or amended permit, for the exclusive purpose of furnishing proof of authorization to withdraw specially denatured spirits. (2) A permittee need only furnish the photocopy of its permit, or amended permit, to a distilled spirits plant or dealer for the “initial order” from that distilled spirits plant or dealer. (3) When a permittee makes photocopies of its permit, Form 5150.9, each copy must be signed, dated, and contain the word “COPY” across the face. (4) A permittee is responsible for obtaining and, as applicable, destroying all photocopies of its permit from distilled spirits plants and dealers when: (i) An amended or corrected permit is issued which supersedes the copy on file, (ii) the permit is canceled by reason of requalification as a new permittee, (iii) the permit is revoked or suspended, or (iv) upon permanent discontinuance of dealing in or using specially denatured spirits. (c) Withdrawals. (1) When a permittee places an initial order for specially denatured spirits the permittee will forward a signed copy of its permit, for retention by the distilled spirits plant or dealer, along with the purchase request. (2) When the permittee places a subsequent order for specially denatured spirits, the purchase request, in addition to any other information, will contain the permit identification number along with a statement that the permittee possesses a valid permit to withdraw specially denatured spirits, a copy of which is on file with the supplier. (3) Shipments will not be made by a proprietor of a distilled spirits plant or dealer until it is in possession of a signed copy of a valid permit, Form 5150.9, unless the appropriate TTB officer authorizes the shipment.
