Tax and Trade Bureau

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) is a U.S. government agency under the Department of the Treasury. It regulates and oversees the production, distribution, and labeling of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products. The TTB ensures that these products comply with tax laws and safety standards while also preventing fraud. It collects taxes on alcohol and tobacco, issues permits for producers and distributors, and enforces regulations to protect consumers and uphold fair trade practices in these industries. Ultimately, the TTB plays a crucial role in balancing commerce, health, and safety regarding alcohol and tobacco.
