[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 27, Volume 1] [Revised as of January 1, 2008] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 27CFR6.72] [Page 85] TITLE 27--ALCOHOL, TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND FIREARMS CHAPTER I--ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO TAX AND TRADE BUREAU, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PART 6_``TIED-HOUSE''--Table of Contents Subpart C_Unlawful Inducements Sec. 6.72 ``Tie-in'' sales. The act by an industry member of requiring that a retailer purchase one product (as defined in Sec. 6.11) in order to obtain another constitutes a means to induce within the meaning of the Act. This includes the requirement to take a minimum quantity of a product in standard packaging in order to obtain the same product in some type of premium package, i.e., a distinctive decanter, or wooden or tin box. This also includes combination sales if one or more products may be purchased only in combination with other products and not individually. However, an industry member is not precluded from selling two or more kinds or brands of products to a retailer at a special combination price, provided the retailer has the option of purchasing either product at the usual price, and the retailer is not required to purchase any product it does not want. See Sec. 6.93 for combination packaging of products plus non-alcoholic items. [T.D. ATF-364, 60 FR 20422, Apr. 26, 1995]
