We intentionally bring value to the market, meaning quality in bottle at relative price, brand awareness/equity, and service. We appreciate our supplier partners input and act as a transparent representative of both their products and the markets' feedback.
To sell to a wholesale distributor in Washington and Idaho, you must obtain a Certificate of Compliance & register all brands with a Wholesaler Designation Form.
It is the annual responsibility of the suppliers to renew their Certificate of Compliance which needs to be completed prior to June 30 of each year. If we do not have a copy of your current renewed Certificate by August 1, no Purchase Orders can be written.
These taxes are paid monthly by Cru Selections to the state and are a factor in your pricing.
