Mudpuppy Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I am curious about what exactly the TTB asks during the telephone interview. I was told the interview last about an hour. Could someone explain the types of questions that were asked? Thanks for the help. Sincerley, Mudpuppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBD Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 For me, it lasted about 20 minutes. They basically went over the questions on the app, asked about production, how many proof gallons expected to be warehoused or in transit... can't recall anything else though I'm sure there were other things. Don't be nervous, it shouldn't be hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpuppy Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks for the resposnse. I was just wondering what we could talk about for 1-1.5 hours. Hopefully it will be the same repetitive questions the TTB tends to ask. Thanks, Mudpuppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauport Bob Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 My opinion, give 'em a break. They have been only helpful for us. They are, as are we all, understaffed, undrepaid and overworked. (I hope they monitor this.) Seriously, isn't a 1 or 2 hour phone interview less intrusive to you then being called in for a "Face to Face"? As we know it is as much how you interview as well as the answers themselves. Good luck. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Jewell Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 The interview mainly goes over all of the information you supplied on your application paperwork. It would be very useful to have your application in front of you while you are on the phone to ensure your answers match up with what the TTB agent is expecting. You can also notify them of any small changes that may have occurred since your original filing. Most questions will be verifying your capacity, location, etc. For us there were a lot of questions similar to: "Are you aware you must keep records in accordance with CFR part 19.XXX?" Yes and No answers will cover most of the questions that aren't directly about the specifics of you planned operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 What is the average time between when the TTB receives a DSP application and when you can expect them to contact you for an interview? I am currently awaiting to here from the TTB on my application. Thanks, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninWV Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Jeff, I'm getting ready to send my application. How long ago did you send yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 It was a month ago. But I just got notice today that my bond had an error so it will take a little longer before I get an interview since I have to send the bond back to the surety for their intials. Dumb mistake on my part and the surety didn't catch it either. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
