If you’re applying for a Spirits Retailer Liquor License and intend to sell to liquor retailers for resale at their licensed premises, or you’re applying for a Wine Retailer/Reseller endorsement, you will also need a Federal Basic Permit under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act.

A Federal Basic Permit is required for each location you plan to sell to another retailer and it must provide for purchasing product for resale at wholesale. Apply for this permit online with the TTB. It is recommended that you post this permit on your premises with your other licenses.
