GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Block 1.A. and 1.B.: This includes the primary (and alternate, if any) mailing address for the company
holding the TTB permit(s) where the company will receive communication via mail from the FDA to
include, but not limited to, notifications and invoices.
Block 6.: List the current, active permits being reported; this should include all permits reported on the
applicable form (for example, manufacturer and importer permits should both be listed if reporting on
the same form).
Block 7.: Check this box only when the TTB permit(s) is no longer active (e.g., you have returned the
permit to TTB, your permit has otherwise closed/expired, or you have closed/dissolved your business).
If there are multiple permits and the company is not closing all of them, indicate in block 7 for which
permit a final report is being submitted. When checking this box, we suggest the company include
documentation showing the permit is no longer active or the company has closed. This can include, but
is not limited to: state documents showing the closure or dissolution of the business holding the TTB
permit, bond expiration or termination letter, document(s) showing the company returned the permit to
TTB and requested closure/termination, etc.
Block 8.A. and 8.B.: This should reflect the month and year associated with the removal data (not the
month the submission is due) and should coincide with the dates listed on the supporting documents.
For example, monthly submissions are due February 20th for January removal data; therefore, the
period of activity for the submission due in February should list January in block 8.A. along with the
appropriate year in block 8.B.
Page 2, Column A (Manufacturer Removal Volume): Enter the volume (i.e., gross removal amount)
for the period of activity by tobacco class in sticks or pounds. The numbers in this column should reflect
the total of the volume reported on TTB 5210.5 line 14, plus the volume reported on TTB 5210.5 line
17, and—when identifiable—plus/minus the volume associated with any Schedule A and B adjustments
impacting gross removals (such as over/under payments, shortages disclosed by inventory, under/overfills, etc.). This does not include claims for withdrawn product. Companies should amend monthly
reports to include adjustments in the month they occurred, not necessarily the month the adjustment
was reported to TTB.
Page 2, Column B (Manufacturer Excise Taxes): Enter the total excise tax amount for the period of
activity by tobacco class in dollars; do not round. This includes the excise tax amounts reported on TTB
5000.24 lines 12, 13, 15, 16 plus/minus the excise taxes associated with any Schedule A and B
adjustments by tobacco class impacting gross removals (such as over/under payments, shortages
disclosed by inventory, under/over-fills, etc.). This does not include claims for withdrawn product.
Companies should amend monthly reports to include adjustments in the month they occurred, not
necessarily the month the adjustment was reported to TTB.
Page 2, Column C (Importer Removal Volume): Enter the total volume for the period of activity by
tobacco class in sticks or pounds. This includes the total volume reported across all CBP 7501 forms
(block 31) for the applicable period of activity. While the volume is reported in thousands of sticks or
kilograms on the CBP 7501 form, report the total here as sticks or pounds.
Page 2, Column D (Importer Excise Taxes): Enter the total excise tax amount for the period of
activity by tobacco class in dollars; do not round. This includes the total excise tax amount reported
across all CBP 7501 forms (block 38) for the applicable period of activity. This total does not include
other duties and fees reported on the CBP 7501 (e.g., block 37 and 39).
