Manufacturer's license - Nonresident seller license

Official statutory text

A. All distillers, winemakers, and spirits manufacturers,

importers, brokers and others seeking to sell wine and spirits in

Oklahoma, regardless of whether such sales are consummated within or

without the state, must either obtain a manufacturer's license or

contract with a person that maintains a nonresident seller license

in order to sell wine and spirits intended for consumption within

the State of Oklahoma.

A manufacturer's license or nonresident seller license shall

authorize the holder thereof to solicit and take orders for wine and

spirits from the holders of licenses authorized to import the same

into this state, and to ship or deliver, or cause to be shipped or

delivered, wine and spirits into Oklahoma pursuant to such sales.

B. The ABLE Commission may, subject to the provisions of the

Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act requiring notice and hearing

in the case of sanctions against holders of licenses, suspend or

revoke a brewer's license, manufacturer's license or nonresident

seller license for any violation of the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage

Control Act by the holder thereof.

C. No licensee in this state authorized to import alcoholic

beverages into this state shall purchase or receive any alcoholic

beverages from without this state from any person not holding a

valid and existing brewer, small brewer, manufacturer's or

nonresident seller license. Every manufacturer's license or

nonresident seller license shall expire on the June 30 following its

issuance or renewal, and shall be eligible for subsequent renewal

terms of one (1) year beginning on the July 1 following each

expiration. License fees for a new or initial manufacturer's

license or nonresident seller license applied for after July 1 may

be prorated through the following June 30 on a quarterly basis.

D. The holder of a manufacturer's license or nonresident seller

license shall, promptly upon consignment of any wine and spirits to

an importer in Oklahoma, forward to the ABLE Commission a true copy

of the invoice, bill of lading or other document as the ABLE

Commission may by rule prescribe, showing the details of such

shipment.

E. Any person, not otherwise a dealer in alcoholic beverages,

coming into possession of any alcoholic beverages as security for or

in payment of a debt, or as an insurer or its transferee or assignee

for the salvage or liquidation of an insured casualty or damage or

loss, or as an executor, administrator, trustee or other fiduciary,

may sell the beverages in one lot or parcel to a duly licensed

wholesaler or beer distributor at an agreed-upon price without

regard to current posted prices. However, immediately after taking

possession of the alcoholic beverages, the person shall register

with the Director and furnish a detailed list of the alcoholic

beverages and post with the Director a bond in such amount as the

Director deems sufficient to protect the state from any taxes due on

the alcoholic beverages. The person shall pay to the Director a

registration fee of Fifty Dollars ($50.00), which fee shall permit

the sale of only the alcoholic beverages detailed in the

registration request. A wholesaler or beer distributor receiving a

lot or parcel of alcoholic beverages pursuant to this subsection may

sell it in one lot or parcel or more than one lot or parcel to a

licensed package store or mixed beverage licensee or more than one

licensed package store or mixed beverage licensee at an agreed-upon

price without regard to current posted prices; provided, the total

of the lots sold by the wholesaler or beer distributor shall not

exceed four (4) lots.
