Are there other considerations for wholesaling?
All alcohol products that are wholesaled must be (1) brand registered and (2) price posted. Wholesalers must price post monthly.
Note: Connecticut has a “come to rest” rule, meaning all alcohol must enter into your main premises before delivering to a retailer.
What other permits can I have if I wholesale?
You may have a Connecticut Out-of-State Shipper’s Permit that allows you to import alcohol from abroad directly to yourself. The annual cost for this permit is $90. We have two types:
1. Connecticut Out-of-State Shipper for Alcoholic Liquor: Allows importation of all class of alcohol.
2. Connecticut Out-of-State Shipper for Beer: Allows importation of beer.
These permits require a separate application, but applicants should use the same eLicense account.
