The factory premises generally includes all areas used exclusively for the purposes of manufacturing and storing tobacco products; storing materials, equipment, and supplies used to conduct the business of a manufacturer of tobacco products; and carrying on activities in connection with that business. The premises can be a portion of one building (such as an area within a store), a whole building, or multiple buildings or portions of buildings. You may have multiple locations covered under one TTB permit. If the different locations are not located within the same city, town or village, specific authorization from TTB is required. If you operate a retail establishment at the same location as the factory premises, you must show in your application where that establishment connects to the factory premises, including any doors or other openings between the premises.
Where the factory consists of a portion of a building, the factory must be completely separated from the adjoining portions of the building by walls or other means approved by the appropriate TTB officer. The factory premises must be sufficiently separated from the adjoining portions of the building to protect the revenue, and the premises must be accessible directly from a common means of entrance, such as a street. See 27 CFR 40.69, 40.70, and 40.72.
