My boss asked me to look into how to become a wine importer. He plans to import wine from Italy to the United States. He currently owns a pizza dough business in Los Angeles, California and Brooklyn, New York. I wish to know what are the steps into becoming a wine importer and what are the regulations on distributing wine through out the United States? Thankyou

You need licenses from the federal and state governments. You have to comply with labeling requirements. You need a customs broker as well, and probably an attorney who specializes in this field.Some articles attached:
