Importer & international supplier support
Bringing a product into the U.S. market involves a set of federal and state requirements that need to be coordinated across the importer, the foreign producer, and the relevant agencies.
We support importers and international producers with the U.S. compliance work behind their operations — importer permits, label submissions, state registrations, distributor appointments, and recurring reporting.
The scope depends on the products involved, the states where you operate, and whether you're establishing a new operation or maintaining an existing one. We can structure the engagement as ongoing support or a defined project.
WHAT WE HELP WITH
- Importer permit applications and renewals (TTB)
- Imported product COLA submissions
- State product registrations for imported products
- Distributor appointment coordination
- Federal and state reporting for importers
- Coordination with foreign producers on label requirements
WHAT TO HAVE READY
Importer compliance involves both U.S. and foreign producer information. We'll identify what's needed after an initial review.
- Importer entity information and existing permits, if any
- Foreign producer name and country of origin
- Product information (type, alcohol content, volume)
- Target U.S. markets and distributor information, if known
SCOPE NOTE
Importer support can be structured as ongoing compliance management or a defined project. Government fees are separate from service fees. Label approval timelines are determined by TTB and are outside our control.
