Your best bet is to find another co-packer, if he didn't submit formulas and labels yet. Formulas is taking about 5 to 7 days for approval and labels about the same . Ive been submitting all last month and getting it them really fast. Also, wholesalers Federal Base permit can't do a TIB, thats for DSP holders only. Yeah, you can buy wholesale of a finish product but not if its a 192 proof Tote that needs to be proofed down or blended, DSP has distlling , warehousing, processing, blending and rectifying privileges with the insurance, bonding and equipment to back it up.
Hope that helps.
