Limited Direct Shipping. HB 1339 effective July 1, 1998, provides for the definition and registration of "direct shippers." The $228 permit fee has been waived as of January 1, 2001. No direct shipper shall ship more than 60 individual containers of not more than one liter each of liquor and wine to any one licensee in New Hampshire or to any consumer or consumer's address in New Hampshire in any calendar year. Furthermore, in the event any manufacturer or wholesaler direct shipper wishes to ship more than a total of 1,200 individual containers of not more than one liter each of any particular liquor or wine directly to any combination of licensees and/or consumers in New Hampshire, the shipper shall offer to sell a matching amount to the commission or beer distributor at wholesale prices.
