What is the basis for the new certification requirements for imported wine?
Section 2002 of the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 2004 amended section 5382(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, which sets forth standards regarding what constitutes proper cellar treatment of natural wine. The Act added new certification requirements regarding production practices and procedures for imported natural wine. TTB has issued a temporary rule document to implement this change and in a separate notice document is soliciting comments on the temporary rule.
