What is required to sell beverage alcohol products (spirits, wine, or beer) on the Internet?
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) issued a Ruling concerning direct shipments and sales that includes sales transacted on the Internet. You are still subject to the same TTB requirements for selling spirits, wine, or beer. In addition, you also need to contact the appropriate State government agencies where you and your purchaser are located. Ask whether you need licenses or permits and who needs to pay any taxes and what other requirements may apply. See our Direct Shipping Web page for more information.
