Section 501 directs the Secretary to collect and publish statistics of the quantity of leaf tobacco in all forms, classified by type, grade, and quality, including deteriorated tobacco, and exempts holders below stated thresholds of 35,000 pounds of leaf tobacco, 185,000 cigars, or 750,000 cigarettes. Section 502 directs the Secretary to establish standards for the classification of leaf tobacco and to furnish report forms. Section 503 requires every dealer and manufacturer to report their tobacco holdings within fifteen days after January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year, and makes failure to report, or a false report, punishable by a fine of not less than 300 dollars or more than 1,000 dollars, or imprisonment for not more than one year. Section 504 defines person to include partnerships, corporations, and associations; section 505 authorizes access to internal-revenue records for compliance; section 506 requires returns under oath; and section 507 limits the use of the information to statistical purposes and protects data identifying individual establishments. Section 508 is a separability clause and section 509 has been repealed. The Act is the federal statistical reporting regime for the tobacco trade.
