Last updated: April 2026 dataScotch whisky, tequila, rum, and other imported distilled spirits and beers fall under TTB's Federal Alcohol Administration Act requirements, which mandate label approval and importer permitting before goods can enter US commerce.

FDA also has jurisdiction over adulteration and labeling accuracy, making dual-agency compliance a practical reality for importers of alcoholic beverages.

A COLA is a TTB-issued approval confirming that a product's label meets Federal Alcohol Administration Act requirements. It is required for all distilled spirits, wine above 7% ABV, and malt beverages imported into the US and sold in interstate commerce. Importers must obtain a COLA before the product can be released from Customs.
Yes. TTB's Standards of Identity define categories such as whisky, brandy, rum, and tequila, and the HTS schedule uses these distinctions to assign tariff lines. Misclassification of a spirit type can result in both CBP duty disputes and TTB label compliance issues, so accurate type declaration is essential.
