What happens during an Application Inspection?

If TTB conducts an application inspection, the TTB investigator will visit your premises to determine if it is adequate for the planned operations, and interview the owners of the company to verify that the information contained in the application is accurate. The investigator will explain the TTB regulations for your operations, and answer any questions you may have about your TTB responsibilities, if your application is approved. Finally, the TTB investigator will recommend to the National Revenue Center whether to approve the application.

In addition to verifying that your physical premises will protect the revenue and are adequate for the planned operations, TTB must determine that the company’s principals are not prohibited by Federal law from obtaining a Basic Permit.
