WTN Services- Compliance Oregon Update
Permits are NOW required —As of January 1, 2008 Oregon’s reciprocity law was replaced with a permit system for the sale and shipment of wine directly from wineries to consumers. The Permit law requires wineries to have a Direct Shipper Permit, pay an annual license fee of $50 and maintain a bond of at least $1000.
The license must be renewed annually and expires on 12/31 every year. Wineries with approved Direct Shipper Permits may ship up to two nine liter cases per month directly to an Oregon resident who is at least 21 years of age, must pay excise taxes and file monthly reports with the Privilege Tax Department. Wineries will be mailed monthly report forms within in 30 days of being issued a permit.
A limit of 2 cases per individual per month for combined on-site and off-site sales.
