What are the practical procedures for managing duty stamps and batch codes when refilling consumer bottles at distilleries?
When refilling consumer bottles at a distillery, members handle duty stamps by adding a new sticker on each refill rather than attempting to reuse the original stamp. The key steps are:
- **New duty stamp sticker** — apply a fresh sticker with each refill (do not attempt to remove and reapply the old stamp) - **Batch code** — ensure a new batch code is added to each refilled bottle - **Stock tracking** — maintain a regular stock sheet or inventory list that accounts for all refilled bottles and their corresponding new stamps
This approach keeps your records compliant and auditable. Members noted this is a straightforward administrative process once the system is in place.
