Form Formula Permit For Free

In its simplest terms, TTB formula approval is required when an alcoholic beverage is produced using non-traditional methods or ingredients. The TTB requires formula approval so that it can: Verify that ingredients used meet FDA requirements and are considered safe. Assign an appropriate tax classification.

Our mission is to collect the taxes on alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and ammunition, protect the consumer by ensuring the integrity of alcohol products, ensure only qualified businesses enter the alcohol and tobacco industries, and prevent unfair and unlawful market activity for alcohol and tobacco products.

This ?formula approval? is usually required when flavoring or coloring materials are added to a beverage, and usually not required when the product is produced using industry-standard procedures and ingredients.
