TTB may consider an application to establish a bonded warehouse with less capacity provided a need is clearly shown.\n(b) Application. The applicant must submit a separate written request along with the application for registration explaining the need for the bonded warehouse. TTB may approve the application for registration if:\n(1) The proposed location for the warehouse will not jeopardize the revenue; and\n(2) The applicant provides evidence showing sufficient need for establishing such a warehouse.\n(c) Special conditions. Based on the application and request, TTB may limit the type of operations that may be conducted at the bonded warehouse. The proprietor of a warehouse approved for a limited type of operation may not expand or change the operation to include any other type of operation without application to and approval of the appropriate TTB officer.","path":["Title 27—Alcohol, Tobacco Products and Firearms","CHAPTER I—ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO TAX AND TRADE BUREAU, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY","SUBCHAPTER A—ALCOHOL","PART 19—DISTILLED SPIRITS PLANTS","Subpart C—Restrictions on Production, Location, and Use of Plants"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-27.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:25:11Z","sha256":"e910eca9fe44e828f0c7c10a7c097f99fcb6916b3625dce66f91b3fb19b0cf25","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/27-cfr-19.55","next":"us/27-cfr-19.58"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
