# §24.52. Dealer registration.


Every proprietor who sells or offers for sale any alcohol product (distilled spirits, wines, or beer) fit for beverage use must register as a dealer in accordance with [part 31](/cfr/27/part31.md) of this chapter. However, the proprietor's application to establish and operate a bonded wine premises or taxpaid wine bottling house filed under [subpart D](/cfr/27/subpartD.md) of this part, and approval of that application by the appropriate TTB officer, will constitute the proprietor's registration as a dealer at the approved bonded or taxpaid wine premises. Every proprietor registered as a dealer under this section will be classified as a wholesale dealer in liquors (see [§ 31.32](/cfr/27/31.32.md) of this chapter) and as such may also operate as a retail dealer in liquors without additional registration. Registration covers all sales from the same location, including sales of spirits, beer, or other proprietors' wine. As provided in [§ 31.52](/cfr/27/31.52.md) of this chapter, the proprietor is subject to no additional registration for making sales of wine or beer at the customer's place of business. Otherwise, a proprietor who conducts business as a dealer at a location other than the bonded wine premises or taxpaid wine bottling house must register and keep records in accordance with [part 31](/cfr/27/part31.md) of this chapter.


# §24.53. Amending the dealer registration.


Every proprietor registered as a dealer under [§ 24.52](/cfr/27/24.52.md) must maintain a current and accurate application file under [subpart D](/cfr/27/subpartD.md) of this part. Whenever there is a change to any of the information provided in the proprietor's approved application, the proprietor must amend the application within the time period specified in [subpart D](/cfr/27/subpartD.md) of this part. An amendment of the proprietor's wine premises approved application will also amend the proprietor's dealer registration under [§ 24.52](/cfr/27/24.52.md). The proprietor's dealer registration will also terminate when wine operations authorized under this part terminate.


# §24.54. Dealer records.


Every dealer is required to maintain records of transactions. Wine transactions that appear in the records required by [subpart O](/cfr/27/subpartO.md) of this part will meet the proprietor's recordkeeping requirements as a dealer. For other transactions not covered in the wine premises records, such as retail sales of distilled spirits or beer in a restaurant at the wine premises, or operations as a wholesale dealer in distilled spirits or beer, the proprietor must keep the records specified for dealers in [part 31](/cfr/27/part31.md) of this chapter.
