In response to the nationwide hand sanitizer shortage in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many distilleries have rallied to help through the production of ethanol for hand sanitizer. On March 18, 2020 the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) announced it is temporarily waiving until June 30, 2020 (with possibility of extension) the prior authorization and formula approval typically imposed upon Distilled Spirits Permittees (DSPs) to produce ethanol-based hand sanitizers and to produce and transfer ethanol to certain other entities to use in hand sanitizers. In addition, on March 26, 2020 TTB released revised guidance for the production and tax exemption of ethanol-based hand sanitizers, a summary of which is below.
Hand Sanitizer Production Guidelines for DSPs
Distilleries interested in hand sanitizer production can do so through June 30, 2020 without requiring additional approval, but should follow’s TTB’s written guidance, which requires that such ethanol-based hand sanitizers be produced in conformance with FDA guidelines, including formula, registration and labeling requirements. Consistent with FDA formula and TTB guidance:
- Tax-free ethanol may be used to produce hand sanitizer if it is denatured according to TTB regulations and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance. The pending federal CARES Act, if enacted as currently drafted, will codify the excise tax exemption of any alcohol removed in 2020 to produce hand sanitizer according to FDA formula.
- Through June 30, 2020, DSPs are exempt from the requirements to request pre-approval from TTB to receive denatured or un-denatured distilled spirits in bond from another DSP and to obtain additional bond coverage. As a result, DSPs may now transfer ethanol in bond to a second DSP for the second DSP’s production of hand sanitizer.
