What it is and who needs it.
What the unit bond actually covers
A unit bond is the all-in-one option for a distilled spirits plant: a single bond on TTB F 5110.56 that combines operations coverage (spirits in bond at the plant) and withdrawal coverage (deferred tax on spirits removed before payment) under one penal sum, under 27 CFR part 19, subpart F.
For many DSPs the unit bond is simpler than filing separate operations and withdrawal bonds — one filing, one premium, one penal sum covering the full liability that could be outstanding at one time. TTB sets that penal sum based on your operation.
An important caveat: since January 1, 2017, 26 U.S.C. 5551(d) exempts proprietors who reasonably expect to owe no more than $50,000 in distilled spirits excise tax for the year (and owed no more than that the prior year) from furnishing a bond. If TTB has asked you for a unit bond, or you fall outside that exemption, we issue it from $100.
