EXPORT CERTIFICATES

 

 

TTB's International Affairs Division (IAD) assists industry members seeking to
export alcohol beverages from the United States by providing the information
below related to export certificates or documents required by foreign
governments as a condition for import.


TTB'S ELECTRONIC EXPORT CERTIFICATE SYSTEM

On July 18, 2023, TTB launched its electronic export certificate system on
myTTB. This system may be used to prepare and receive your export certificate.
The completed certificate can then be downloaded as a secure pdf or printed from
the system. Please note that some countries may not accept an electronic export
certificate. We recommend that you review our country-specific guidance and
verify with the destination country as to whether an electronic certificate is
acceptable.

Please consult our user guide here for information on how to access this system
and prepare your export certificate.


PAPER EXPORT CERTIFICATE TEMPLATE

If not using myTTB, Industry members may continue to use this export certificate
template to request any of the following certifications or similar variations.

 * Certificate of Free Sale
 * Certificate of Origin and/or Age
 * Certificate of Health
 * Certificate of Sanitation
 * Certificate of Authenticity
 * Sanitary Statement/Certificate
 * Certificate of Manufacturing Process

Distilled Spirits Only

 * Use TTB Form 5110.58, "Certificate of Origin and Age of Distilled Spirits" if
   applicable.
 * Use TTB Form 5110.42, "Certificate of Authenticity Bourbon Whisky," if
   applicable.

Exports to Brazil

Currently, Brazil requires separate forms for certificates of origin and
certificates of analysis, which apply to all imported alcohol beverage products.
Previously, a combined certificate of origin and analysis was required. Please
use this template only for certificate of origin requests for Brazil.. Brazil
requires an analysis of alcohol beverage products as a condition of entry, but
accepts analyses performed by a TTB-certified lab. See TTBGov - Chemist
Certification Program.

For products that do not meet Brazil's standards of identity for alcohol
beverages, such as wines above 14% alcohol by volume, you may request a
certificate of typicity ("certificado de tipicidade") using this template.
Please note the certificate of typicity is required by Brazil for such products,
in addition to the Certificate of Origin for Brazil.


PAPER EXPORT CERTIFICATE TEMPLATES FOR WINE EXPORTS

Wine Exports to APEC Economies

The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Model Wine Certificate is available
for exporting wine to APEC economies (with the exception of China – see below
for information on the export certificate accepted by China), when certificates
are required by that APEC economy. The use and scope of the certificate is at
the discretion of the importing APEC economy. For instance, Thailand requires
that importers complete the APEC Model Wine Certificate in a particular format,
(see APEC Wine Certificate for Thailand for template) otherwise importers must
submit samples of their products to Thailand's Excise Department for analysis.
Click here for more information on using the APEC Model Wine Certificate.

Wine Exports to China

There is a consolidated export certificate template that may be used for wine
that is exported to China. This certificate incorporates the Certificate of
Origin, Certificate of Health/Sanitation, and Certificate of Authenticity/Free
Sale. This consolidated export certificate does not apply to wine exports to
Hong Kong or Taiwan (which use, the APEC Model Wine Certificate).

Wine Exports to the European Union (EU)

Wine produced in the U.S. and exported to the EU must be accompanied by either a
simplified export certificate or a VI-1 form for each type and/or lot of grape
wine, which serves as a certificate of analysis and compliance with EU
enological regulations.

EU Simplified Export Certificate (self-certifying)

 * Producing wineries that are also the exporter may use the simplified export
   certificate, which only requires one chemical analysis of the wine (actual
   alcohol content), and is self-certified by the exporter. (See TTB Industry
   Circular 2007-2, Certification and Analysis of U.S. Wine for Export to the
   European Community for additional information, including a sample
   certificate.)

EU VI-1 Forms

 * The EU VI-1 forms certify that the wine exported:
   1. complies with the conditions governing the production and entry into
      circulation applicable in the United States of America,
   2. has not been subjected to enological practices which are not permitted
      under current European Economic Community provisions, and
   3. has been produced by a winery licensed by TTB for the production of grape
      wine.
 * See Commission Regulation (EC) No. 555/2008 of 27 June 2008 for detailed
   information concerning the VI-1 forms.

EU VI-1 Short Form (self-certifying process)

 * Producing wineries that are also the exporter may use the VI-1 short form
   once they are added to the official EU list of self-certifying wineries
   published in the EU Official Journal.
 * To be added to the EU list, the producing winery must:
   1. Draft a certification statement that includes the required information
      detailed in Commission Regulation (EC) No. 555/2008 of 27 June 2008.(link
      is external) The document should be titled " Attachment IV Certification
      Statement;” and
   2. Submit the Attachment IV Certification Statement to TTB using the IAD
      contact form. Please select “Wine Certification Requirements” as your
      reason for inquiry.
 * TTB provides the EU with new self-certifying winery submissions twice a year,
   in March and September.
 * Once a winery has been added to the EU’s official list, it may begin using
   the VI-1 short form process for exports of its wine to the EU.

 * To export wine to the EU using the VI-1 short form process:
   
   1. The producing winery sends a completed original VI-1 form, three copies of
      the completed form, the Attachment III Certification Statement, and a
      750ml sample of the product to a TTB-certified laboratory.
   2. The laboratory completes the required analyses, signs and stamps the
      original form and the copies, returns the original and two of the copies
      of the VI-1 short form as well as the Attachment III Certification
      Statement back to the winery, maintaining one copy of the VI-1 short form
      for their records.
   3. The producing winery then retains one copy for their records and includes
      the original of the VI-1 short form, one copy, and the Attachment III
      Certification Statement with the shipment to the EU.
   
   Please note that TTB does not certify the VI-1 short forms; the winery
   self-certifies this form using the process described above.

EU VI-1 Long Form (sent to TTB for certification)

 * Wholesalers(link is external) that hold taxpaid wine to be exported, and
   wineries that did not produce the wine they are exporting must use the VI-1
   long form. The long form may be used by any U.S. exporter (i.e., producing
   wineries and/or wholesale basic permit holders).
 * To export wine to the EU using the VI-1 long form:
   1. The exporter sends a completed original VI-1 Long Form, three copies of
      the completed form, and the Attachment III Certification Statement of the
      VI-I form, and a 750ml sample of the product to a TTB-certified
      laboratory.
   2. The laboratory completes the required analyses, signs and stamps the
      forms, and returns all but one copy for their records.
   3. The exporter then sends the original and the two copies to TTB for
      processing. TTB returns the forms to the exporter.
   4. The exporter retains one copy as a record and includes the original, one
      copy, and the Attachment III Certification Statement with the shipment to
      the EU.

For a list of EU Member Countries and State(s), please visit the EU’s website
here(link is external).

The United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland) left the EU
on January 31, 2020, but it continues to use EU forms and procedures. For the
latest information on exporting wine to the United Kingdom, see Importing and
exporting wine - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)(link is external).


COUNTRY SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

For Thailand only

Thailand requires that imported alcohol beverage products comply with set limits
for certain substances as set out in Thailand's regulations. Details of these
limits have been prepared by the U.S. Department of Agricultural, Foreign
Agricultural Service and can be found here. To satisfy this requirement U.S.
alcohol beverage exporters to Thailand have the option of submitting
documentation to Thailand. If exporters do not provide export certificates with
the following attestations, they will need to submit samples of their products
directly to Thailand's Excise Department for analysis.

 * Beer - Export Certificate for Thailand
 * Distilled Spirits - Export Certificate for Thailand
 * Wine - APEC Wine Certificate for Thailand
