Export Retention (Variance) Program

If your business is a distilled spirits plant, brewery, bonded wine premise, tobacco manufacture, or export warehouse, you may apply for a variance (or approval) to keep your export documentation at your premises. We may also refer to this as an alternative procedure.

There are several requirements and conditions that must be met to obtain and maintain a variance. Please see links below for more information.
