Frequently Asked Question: How Do I Obtain an Export Certificate for Wines, Malt Beverages, or Distilled Spirits Being Shipped to a Foreign Country? For Certificates of Free Sale, Origin, Health, Quality, or Sanitation, for shipments of alcohol beverages not going to the European Union (EU), follow the sample export certificate for wines or the sample export certificate for malt beverages and distilled spirits. For U.S. wine being exported to the EU, pursuant to the U.S.-EU Wine Agreement, the EU requires that you submit either a simplified export certificate (see ECP5) or a VI1 form.

Charlie passed away on October 8, 2022.    Charlie began his career as a field inspector with the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Division of the Internal Revenue Service. Charlie eventually transferred to the Special Programs Branch in Washington, DC. By the mid-'70s, Charlie began work in rulemaking, starting with regulations to recognize a metric standard of fill.   With the reorganization of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) in the Treasury Department, he returned to Boston as an area supervisor, focusing mainly on firearms and explosives. Then, in the '90s, Charlie began concentrating his efforts on issues relating to beer, which included rulemaking on flavored malt beverages in the early 2000s.   Charlie retired from TTB in 2006 after 35 years of service.  (TTB was created in 2003, with the reorganization of ATF under the provisions of the Homeland Security Act of 2002.) At the time of his retirement, he was a highly respected beer program manager in our Regulations and Procedures Division, but was also widely recognized throughout the agency as an expert in a range of areas.  Charles Bacon, IV | Obituary | Salem News TTB Career Opportunities: Chemist and Auditor (Financial/Excise Tax Auditor)   Are you interested in a career at an agency that ranks in the top 10% of Best Places to Work in the Federal Government?
