Here's your guide to registering products in South Carolina.
Which product types to register
- Wine
- Beer/Malt
- Spirits (not currently handled in PRO)
You'll need to include the following information for each product you register:
- Brand name
- Label name
- ABV
- Size
- Country of origin, if imported
How to register your products
- If you have a new brand, 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 or label, register your product as a Revision.
- For wine, revisions are only required for changes in bottle size, ABV, graphics, vintage, or appellation.
- For beer, revisions are only required for changes in bottle size, ABV, or graphics. Additional container sizes do not need to be registered.
- If you have a variety pack or combo, you'll need to register it on paper instead of through PRO.
