Persons who wish to wholesale (buying alcohol for sale to another wholesaler or to a retailer) or import alcohol beverages must obtain a permit from TTB before starting operations. In addition, alcohol wholesalers and importers are required to submit a registration form and keep records.
As long as in business and reporting
United States Code (U.S.C.), Titles 26 and 27
Depending on your business, the permit may require registration, bond payment, appropriate use of facility, labeling requirements, paying excise taxes, and reporting requirements. As a TTB-regulated industry member, you may be responsible for paying federal excise taxes. Your obligation as a taxpayer will depend on your circumstances and business type.
Retailers are excluded.
