Part II Applicant’s Certification

Under the penalties of perjury, I declare: that all statements appearing on this application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief; and, that the representations on the labels attached to this form, including supplemental documents, truly and correctly represent the content of the containers to which these labels will be applied. I also certify that I have read, understood, and complied with the conditions and instructions which are attached to an original TTB F 5100.31, Certificate/Exemption of Label/Bottle Approval. I consent to the return of processed applications in the manner indicated on this application and set forth in the applicable instructions.

Allowable Revision Change

Please incorporate this change only if it does not impact our ability to expedite the processing of the form.

11. Change the mandatory statement of alcohol content, as long as the change is consistent with the labeled class and type designation, and all other labeling statements.

For example, you may change the alcohol content of a grape wine labeled with a varietal designation from 13 percent to 15 percent alcohol by volume, even though it results in a change to the product’s tax classification. However, if the product was designated and labeled as a “table wine,” an alcohol content of 15 percent alcohol by volume would be inconsistent with the rules for use of that designation, so this change would not be permitted.   Similarly, a label bearing a “rum” designation may not be changed to state an alcohol content of less than 40 percent alcohol by volume. The revised alcohol content statement must be consistent with all other mandatory or optional labeling statements.
