TTB Extends Hand Sanitizer Exemptions and Waivers
The TTB released a notice on April 20th that they "are extending any exemptions, waivers, or other authorizations currently provided in TTB G 2020-1A, through December 31, 2020." This means that Distilleries and alcohol fuel plants can continue producing hand sanitizer through the end of the year. Additionally, hand sanitizer may be produced using undenatured ethanol and may be removed from the bonded premise without paying excise tax provided that the hand sanitizer is "for use by hospitals, blood banks, sanitariums, certain pathological laboratories, non-profit clinics, and qualifying educational institutions seeking to use it to manufacture hand sanitizer, and not for resale or use in the manufacture of any product for sale."
