Navigating the global trade of rectified spirit, also known as absolute or ethyl alcohol, entails acquiring licenses or permits. These authorizations oversee its export, import, production, processing, storage, and wholesale activities. Compliance with regulatory requirements is essential for a seamless and lawful alcohol trade across borders. The legal basis for these licensing requirements is governed by the Narcotics Control Act 2018, which outlines the specific regulations and procedures for the control and management of substances like rectified spirit. Ensuring adherence to this Act is crucial for anyone involved in the international trade of ethyl alcohol.
