Extension of Package Use-Up Rule for Roll-Your-Own Tobacco Manufacturers and Importers (98R-370P)

In Treasury Decision ATF-424, ATF issued temporary regulations requiring manufacturers and importers to mark packages of roll-your-own tobacco as either "roll-your-own tobacco" or "Tax Class J." The temporary regulations provided a use-up period until April 1, 2000 for manufacturers who used packages that did not meet the marking requirements, provided they used the packages before January 1, 2000. In this temporary rule, ATF is extending the date by which manufacturers of roll-your-own tobacco must comply with the package marking requirements. ATF is also adding regulations to provide the same compliance date for importers of roll-your-own tobacco.
