Import Wine Business

Hello,

I am interesting in starting a online company in the UK for importing and then selling organic wine from South America. I understand that I need to get a Personal Alcohol License and then a Premises License.

But I am wondering what else I might need!!!??? Do I need some sort of a import license as well? and if so would I get this before or after I get the personal and premises license.

If there is anyone who is in the wine import business that can help I would really appreciate your help/advice.

Thank you for you in advance.

Thanks Vvaannmmann,

I 've been tredging through those posts, haven't found anything that useful yet, was just hoping someone who has applied for a import license before can help out and explain the process of applying for a Import/Export Alcohol License.
