• Efficient and effective tax collection
• Determent of illegal distribution through unregulated Internet, “Black Market” or mail order sales
• Prevention of oversupply and resulting economic pressures in the system
• Monitoring of perishable inventory to ensure product safety, integrity and freshness.
• Rapid response to product recalls
