THE US Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has proposed new legislation that would overhaul labelling and advertising regulations for wine, distilled spirits and malt beverages.
The agency is seeking feedback until March 26 2019 on its proposed rule that would impact certain alcohol imports and exports.
The proposed rule would clarify record keeping requirements for importers to retain certificates of labelling approval (COLAs), reported American Shipper.
When dictated by circumstances, importers and bottlers would have to be able to identify the COLA covering the product upon request by a TTB officer for a period of five years after the date the products covered by the COLAs were either removed from the bottler's premises or customs custody.
The proposed rule provides that, upon request by a TTB officer, bottlers and importers must provide evidence of approval for a label that is used on an alcohol beverage container and subject to COLA requirements of the applicable part.
