Can I ship wine, spirits or beer to consumers in Oregon?
Wine: out-of-state producers can ship direct to consumers. Wineries need a Direct Shipper Permit from the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission. Out-of-state applicants pay a $100 registration fee, keep a bond of at least $1,000 and renew each year for $100. You can ship up to five nine-liter cases of wine to any resident each month, for personal use only. The carrier must get an adult signature, check a government photo ID and confirm the recipient is not visibly intoxicated. (Source: ORS 471.282)
Spirits: out-of-state producers cannot ship direct to consumers. Oregon has no direct shipper permit for distilled spirits; the Direct Shipper Permit covers malt beverages, wine and cider only. Oregon sells distilled spirits through its state-controlled liquor stores, so out-of-state distilleries cannot ship spirits direct to Oregon consumers. (Source: ORS 471.282)
Beer: out-of-state producers can ship direct to consumers. Breweries and cideries use the same Direct Shipper Permit, with the same $100 registration fee, $1,000 bond and $100 annual renewal for out-of-state applicants. You can ship up to two nine-liter cases of beer or cider to any resident each month, for personal use only, with the same signature and ID checks at delivery. (Source: ORS 471.282)
What makes Oregon different?
Oregon is one of the few states that lets out-of-state breweries and cideries ship direct, not just wineries, and it sets its limits per resident per month rather than per year. Permit holders report every shipment to the Commission each quarter, pay Oregon's privilege tax on what they ship, and must keep their records open to audit. Boxes must carry the label "CONTAINS ALCOHOL: SIGNATURE OF PERSON AGE 21 YEARS OR OLDER REQUIRED FOR DELIVERY". Spirits are a different system: Oregon is a control state, and distilled spirits are sold through state-appointed liquor stores.
What are Oregon's alcohol excise taxes?
- Wine: $0.67 per gallon (Tax Foundation)
- Beer: $0.08 per gallon (Tax Foundation)
- Spirits: Set through state liquor store pricing, since Oregon is a control state (Federation of Tax Administrators)
