An Importer's Basic Permit authorizes bringing foreign beverage alcohol into the U.S. for commercial sale. Importers also need TTB label approval (a COLA) for each product and must clear U.S. Customs entry requirements.
Note: this business's name suggests a winery operation, but its TTB record on file classifies this specific permit as an Importer -- a business can legally hold more than one permit class (for example, a winery producing brandy to fortify wine needs a separate Distilled Spirits Plant permit). This page reflects the permit class TTB assigned to permit number KS-I-15021 specifically, which may not be the business's primary product line.
