Nature of Report:

Since repeal of the Federal excise tax on snuff, smoking, and chewing tobacco in 1965, responsibility for collecting statistics

on these products has passed from the Treasury Department to the Department of Agriculture at the request of the industry. 

Reports are now requested on a quarterly basis instead of monthly. Individual reports are kept strictly confidential and only

national totals are published. The reports cover regular calendar quarters: January-March, April-June, July-September, and

October-December.

Instructions:

Who is to report - Only manufacturers are requested to submit reports. Firms having more than one factory may file

separate reports for each but a combined report is preferred.

(Col. 1) Manufactured - Please report the total pounds of each class of product manufactured in domestic factory(s) during

the past quarter, including production of test brands and custom production for private individuals, small retail outlets, mail

order houses, and institutions. If you have subsidiary companies or do work for another manufacturer who also reports to

us, both firms should reach agreement on the proper reporting method to avoid any duplication or omission.

(Col. 2) Invoiced to Domestic Customers - Please report total pounds of each class of product sold to domestic customers

during the past quarter for consumption within the United States, including Government installations. Include invoiced

shipments of test brands and custom production for private individuals, small retail outlets, mail order houses, and

institutions. Imported brands are not to be included in this schedule.

If you have subsidiary companies or do work for another manufacturer who also reports to us, both firms should reach

agreement on the proper reporting method to avoid any duplication or omission. Sample and gratis shipments to dealers and

brands in test markets should also be included.

(Col. 3) Export Purposes - Please report total pounds of each class of product "exported" during the past quarter, including

shipments to Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions, for use as ships stores, and armed forces overseas. Do not include blended

cigarette strips or cigarette cut tobacco exported for use in the manufacture of cigarettes.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SMOKING TOBACCO - Pipe tobacco is that smoking tobacco blended and processed

primarily for use in pipes. Roll-your-own is that smoking tobacco especially cut and processed primarily for use in

roll-your-own cigarettes usually marketed with a packet of papers enclosed. Bulk tobacco to be used in the manufacture of

cigarettes, either domestic or foreign, should not be reported.

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of 

information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0581-0004. The time required to 

complete this information collection is estimated to average 30 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data 

sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
