Filled bottles must also be submitted as part of the application when the label is clear or made of acetate. A facsimile of the label should be attached to the bottom of the application. BATF says it needs the filled bottle to make sure the label is legible when the bottle is full. Bottles are not returned unless there is a specific request.
