    In the other thread people were posting that if you weren't selling bulk, and only selling retail (direct to the customer) you don't need to register. Not sure if that's true or not.
    Ps it's a government website so it won't be simple.

    seems like it would be the oppisite, maybe not? but i would assume there would be more rules and registering needed to sell retail

    i read though the whole thing, i registered with them...i think anyway, it was really confusing. it also says that if you sell at least half your syrup retail, and make under a half million gross income per year you dont need to register, thats what i read in that thread anyway

    Thats what I posted because thats what I thought. Its really not clear. I don't know.

    The reason for the bulk producers HAVE to register is because they need a paper trail. if you sell direct to the consumer locally then its pretty easy to trace even if you don't know them. and e-commerce is even easier to trace.

    I just have to sit down and read through it and try to figure out through all the wordy gov. BS.

    Thats why I started this thread so I can see if I really need to do it or not its just not clear.
    but thats they way things work at the Gov. level!!!

    lol nooo, i sure wish though! it seems that if you make under half a million, you wouldnt need to register

    red, isnt that the purpose of now having batch codes?
