Expanding our DSP, what are we getting ourselves into?

[Salishseaorganicliqueurs]

Our Neighbors are moving out of the suite next to us and this has presented us with an opportunity to expand the size of our operation at a very minimal cost. My question is how difficult is it to get the TTB to approve the expansion of a bonded premises? Am I looking at a mandatory inspection? Are we looking at years of pulling teeth? Or are we looking at a week or two for approval. (I'd greatly prefer the later). Any sharing of experience is greatly appreciated!

I'd love to know the answer to this as well!

Should be straight forward to amend your DSP. I have done so repeatedly, including doing exactly what you describe: adding a unit adjacent to existing facility. We even rearranged bonded premise component, etc. But it can take them a couple months to review it. We were never inspected by TTB for such a change. We did eventually get inspected, but it was a random field review. You will need the updated lease agreement, new floor plan, new premise description, etc. But those can be modifications of existing documentation that should not take too much effort. Don't forget to update your state/local documents once approved by the TTB.

This isn't qute exactly the same... but we submitted an amendment for a Change in Location back in Nov - it still hasn't been approved. No back and forth or errors that we know of... just not reviewed and approved yet. I've even called and talked directly to the specialist who has no aswer as to why... Seems so random!
