Direct Shipping Compliance Reminder

In response to the Granholm v. Heald, U.S. Supreme Court decision (May 16, 2005), many states are changing their alcohol laws and regulations.  The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) reminds members of the alcohol beverage industry that they continue to be responsible for complying with State rules governing transactions in alcohol beverages in addition to complying with Federal rules.  For holders of basic permits under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act, such compliance is a condition of the permit.  For more information, see TTB's new Direct Shipping Web page.
