production, sale, and distribution of alcohol within its borders. This means state and local jurisdictions may have their own requirements in addition to federal requirements. State laws and regulations vary widely from state to state, and may be more restrictive than federal regulations.</p><p>You<strong> must meet all state and local requirements in any state where you plan to do business </strong>(unless Federal law preempts the state law). If you plan to do business in a state, you must contact its appropriate authorities for more information about the state and local requirements.</p><h2><strong>Directory</strong></h2><p>This directory
