Washington

Here's your guide to registering products in Washington.

Washington is an email state. When you create a registration via PRO, it will be emailed to the state for approval or rejection. They will respond directly to you via email with notice of the decision.

Which product types to register

  • Wine
  • Malt
  • Spirits

You'll need to include the following information for each product you register:

  • Vintage (for wine)
  • Bottle size
  • ABV
  • Bottles per case

How to register your products

  • If you have a new brand that requires a COLA, register it as a New Brand.
  • If you have a new COLA under an existing brand, register it as a Line Extension.
  • If you make changes to a product that don't require a new COLA, you don't need to register the product again in Washington.
  • If you have a variety pack or combo, you don't need to register it separately in Washington.
