The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), the agency which regulates alcohol beverages at the federal level, recently posted several educational videos about the history of the Federal Alcohol Administration Act and an overview of TTB trade practice laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are designed to foster a level playing field for all industry members by prohibiting certain anti-competitive practices. The newly-released videos address the prohibition on commercial bribery, consignment sales, tied-house arrangements, and exclusive outlet. The videos can be found on the TTB's Trade Practices website.
