Shipping alcohol is not an automatic entitlement. There are rules that need to be followed to successfully take your collection to your next location. Please do your research prior to submitting your complete packet to the Personal Property Office. If you do not have all permits and paperwork filled out prior to your counseling, you will not be permitted to add the alcohol at a later date.
You must be in possession of the alcohol prior to the orders being issued. You are not authorized to purchase additional beverages prior to shipment if you orders have been issued.
To obtain go to: State Alcohol Beverage Control boards.
If any permits, fees, fines, or tariffs must be paid to the destination State, we must have proof of payment received. This comes in the form of the returned documents with the State’s approval on them. If no permit is required you must have a statement that says it is not required.
