Navigating through federal and state regulations for the import,export and distribution of beverage alcohol can be a complex process.Bringing product to market requires compliance with innumerable federal and state regulations and licenses at both levels of government.

Exporting Beverage Alcohol

Federal export requirements vary depending on what product is being exported, such as beer, wine, or distilled spirits, whether the exporter is also the producer of the product, and/or whether the product is being exported tax paid or not. If managed properly, it is possible to obtain a drawback on tax paid product for export. Further, every country has its own requirements for the importation of beverage alcohol.
