Frequently Asked Question: Do I need a COLA or Certificate of Exemption for Malt Beverages Sold Exclusively in Intrastate Commerce?
Federal label approval is not required for domestically bottled malt beverages unless they are bottled for shipment, or delivery for sale or shipment, into a state from outside of that state. Accordingly, bottlers of malt beverages are not required to obtain either a certificate of label approval or a certificate of exemption for malt beverages that will be sold exclusively within the state where the bottling brewery is located.
Brewers may apply for certificates of label approval for malt beverages currently sold in intrastate commerce to cover the possibility that such products may be sold in interstate commerce in the future, or if required by state regulation.
We remind brewers that they must comply with the marking, branding, labeling, and formula requirements (as applicable) for all beer removed from the premises under regulations implementing the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. See 27 CFR part 25. In addition, the health warning statement requirements imposed by the Alcoholic Beverage Labeling Act, 27 U.S.C. 215, apply to all alcoholic beverages manufactured or bottled for sale or distribution in the United States. These requirements apply regardless of whether the product is sold in interstate commerce. See 27 CFR part 16.
