What Is Federal Excise Tax, and When Do You Have to Pay It?
Seeing when a Federal Excise Tax needs to be paid.
The import of certain goods, like alcoholic beverages or gasoline, requires a Federal Excise Tax to be paid. The amount of tax is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) collects it on their behalf.
To determine whether or not additional fees and taxes are required on the goods you are importing, you should contact your port of entry and ask for an import specialist.
