Anyone engaged in the business of purchasing for resale at wholesale or importing alcohol beverages must first obtain a basic permit from TTB. Further, alcohol wholesalers must apply for a basic permit if they plan to export product, with or without payment of tax. Please note that you must have a permit approved by TTB in hand before commencing business.
All malt beverage wholesalers, importers, and exporters must file an application and necessary documents with TTB before engaging in business.
For a complete list of all necessary documents to file with your permit application, see our Informational and Application Packets or select the appropriate link below.
