Understanding Your Touchpoints with TTB If you produce or plan to produce alcohol beverage products, you’ll need to interact with TTB at a few key points throughout your operations. Knowing when those moments typically occur can help you plan ahead and stay in compliance with federal regulations. Below are the most common points at which you will interact with TTB (with two operational steps included in italics for context): Qualify for your permit (or submit Brewer's Notice) Apply for formula approval, if your product requires it Produce your products (make sure to keep the required records) Apply for label approval, if needed Bottle and remove your products (again, keeping records) Timely submit operational reports, file tax returns, and pay federal excise tax Keep in mind, you will also need to report certain business or operational changes, such as changes in ownership or changes to your premises, through an amendment to your permit, Brewer’s Notice, or other notification to TTB when they occur. Failure to do so may result in your permit being automatically terminated. Understanding these touchpoints can make it easier to stay organized and meet your federal requirements. You can find more information about each step through the links above, found on TTB.gov. If you still have questions, contact the Alcohol Labeling and Formulation Division for formulas or labeling, or the National Revenue Center for permits and taxes. About Us—What We Do
