Mississippi Code Title 27. Taxation and Finance § 27-71-315

Except as otherwise provided in Section 67-9-1 for the transportation of limited amounts of alcoholic beverages for the use of an alcohol processing permittee, it shall be unlawful for any person to transport from any point outside of this state to any point within this state, any light wines, light spirit products or beer except for delivery to a licensed wholesaler or distributor in this state; and except by common carrier. The commissioner may, however, upon application of a licensed wholesaler or distributor in this state, and under rules and regulations duly promulgated by him, issue a permit for the transportation by a licensed wholesaler or distributor of light wines, light spirit products and beer in trucks owned by such licensee, from without the state to the place of business of such licensee within the state, for distribution by said licensee. Such permit shall be granted for a specified period, not to exceed one (1) year.

Any person engaged in transporting any light wines, light spirit products or beer from any point outside of this state to any point within this state, shall have in his possession during the entire time he is engaged in transporting such light wines, light spirit products or beer, an invoice, bill of sale, or bill of lading, showing the true name and address of the consignor, and also the true name and address of the licensed wholesaler or distributor to whom such light wines, light spirit products or beer is to be delivered, and the quantity of such light wines, light spirit products or beer, unless such common carrier maintains a permanent office within this state where complete records of all light wines, light spirit products or beer transported from without this state to points within this state are kept, and open to inspection by the commissioner or his duly authorized agent, at all reasonable times.

It is hereby made the duty of all common carriers, and licensed wholesalers and distributors, transporting light wines, light spirit products or beer from without the State of Mississippi into the State of Mississippi, to furnish the commissioner on or before the fifteenth day of each month, a report showing the amount of beer transported within the state during the preceding month, the consignor, the consignee, and the quantity of light wines, light spirit products or beer so transported.
