Regulatory Compliance

We guarantee full compliance with all regulations governing the importation and sale of alcoholic beverages in the United States, a highly regulated environment where any deviation can result in seizures, penalties, or even the inability to operate.

Our approach goes beyond basic compliance: we structure each operation to ensure it aligns with federal and state regulatory requirements from the outset, minimizing risks and ensuring sustainable market entry.

We manage and oversee compliance with the main authorities:

• TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau):

We verify that each product has its approved COLA (Certificate of Label Approval) and that the physical labeling matches the authorized version exactly. We also ensure compliance regarding product classification, alcohol content, and regulatory categories.

• FDA (Food and Drug Administration):

We coordinate facility registrations (where applicable), compliance with food and beverage regulations, and the submission of Prior Notice for each shipment.

• CBP (Customs and Border Protection):

We ensure that all information declared to customs aligns with legal requirements, avoiding inconsistencies that could lead to inspections or penalties.

In addition, we address one of the most complex aspects of the U.S. market: state-level compliance. Each state has its own laws governing the distribution, sale, and labeling of alcohol, so:

• We provide guidance on state-specific requirements

• We align operations with the three-tier system (importer–distributor–retailer)

• We identify marketing restrictions and trademark registration requirements

Our service also includes:

• Preventive compliance audit: comprehensive review prior to the first shipment

• Validation of labels and marketing claims

• Management of regulatory updates (changes in regulations)

• Standardization of processes for recurring operations

One of our key differentiators is our preventive and strategic approach: we don’t react to problems; we avoid them through planning. This allows our clients to operate with greater certainty, protect their brand, and scale their presence in the United States without regulatory friction.

In an industry where compliance is not optional but the foundation of every operation, our service ensures that every product not only crosses the border but is fully equipped to compete and grow in the U.S. market.
