Anyone seeking to engage in the business of purchasing beer, wine, or distilled spirits at wholesale to sell to other wholesalers or retailers must obtain a Wholesaler's Basic Permit. Producers or manufacturers of beer need to apply for a Wholesaler's Basic Permit only if they intend to sell beer, distilled spirits, or wine that they did not produce or manufacture. Importers must apply for a Wholesaler's Basic Permit only if they intend to sell beer, distilled spirits, or wine that they did not import. TTB regulations require wholesale dealers in beer, wine, or distilled spirits to register by filing TTB 5630.5d - Alcohol Dealer Registration in certain circumstances.
