This form is to be filed no later than the 15th of the month following that for which the report is rendered. The remaining copy shall be retained by the proprietor.

SPECIAL NOTES REGARDING COMPLETION OF FORM 5110.43:
- Negative numbers may not be entered on this report. Part I of the report is designed to balance showing gains and losses of spirits as may be appropriate for each column.
- All quantities are to be reported in wine gallons.
- Imported alcohol for fuel use received from US Customs custody (as reported on Line 3 of Part I of Form 5110.28) can only be used for denaturation (production of Completely Denatured Alcohol (CDA) and distributed for fuel use. The finished wine gallons of CDA produced will be shown on Line 2, column (b) of Form 5110.43.
- A report on Form 5110.28 is required for all plants that produce denatured spirits and manufactured articles. Part I of the Form 5110.28 summarizes your accounting for bulk pure spirits and the amounts used for denaturation. The Processing (Denaturing) report on Form 5110.43 summarizes your production of denatured products in wine gallons. Both reports are required for denaturing operations and manufacture of articles.
- See 27 CFR Part 20 and Part 21 concerning use of denatured alcohol to manufacture articles made from denatured alcohol. A distilled spirits plant may produce articles, however, the denatured spirits used to produce articles must first be reported as produced. See instructions for Form 5110.43.
