Mississippi Code Title 27. Taxation and Finance § 27-71-349

(1) Every manufacturer or importer of light wine, light spirit product or beer shall designate sales territories for each of its brands sold in Mississippi and shall name one (1) licensed light wine, light spirit product or beer wholesaler in each territory who, within such territory, shall be the licensed wholesaler for the brand or brands assigned by the manufacturer or importer. If the manufacturer or importer supplies more than one (1) brand, sales territories may be granted to a different wholesaler for the sale of each brand. No licensed wholesaler shall distribute the specified brand or brands of light wine, light spirit product or beer outside his assigned territory, nor shall he knowingly sell to a retailer whose licensed retail establishment is located outside his assigned territory.

(2) A licensed wholesaler designated as the licensed wholesaler for light wine, light spirit product or beer within a designated sales territory shall present that light wine, light spirit product or beer for sale to all licensed retailers within the designated sales territory without discrimination in service. A licensed wholesaler shall not sell, supply or deliver, either directly or indirectly through a third party, any light wine, light spirit product or beer to a licensed retailer outside of the designated sales territory of the designated wholesaler, nor to any person the licensed wholesaler has reason to believe will sell or supply any quantity of the light wine, light spirit product or beer to any retail location outside of the designated sales territory of the licensed wholesaler.

(3) All light wines, light spirit products or beer shall be transported only by a marked conveyance owned or leased by the licensed wholesaler and operated by the licensed wholesaler or an employee of the wholesaler for the products of a manufacturer or importer within the designated sales territory to the address and location of a licensed retail dealer within that designated sales territory.

(4) Any light wine, light spirit product or beer sold by the licensed wholesaler shall not be delivered to, received by or stored at any place other than the address and location of the licensed retailer for which the required licenses and permits have been issued.

(5) With the approval of the designated manufacturer, a licensed wholesaler may sell the designated brands to a licensed retailer located in a designated sales territory of another licensed wholesaler if the former licensed wholesaler is unable temporarily for any reason to provide the designated brands of the designated manufacturer within its designated sales territory.

(6) All light wine, light spirit product or beer purchased by a licensed wholesaler for resale in this state shall come into the physical possession of the licensed wholesaler and be unloaded in and distributed from the warehouse of the licensed wholesaler located in this state before being resold in this state.

(7) As used in this section, the term “sales territory” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 67-7-5.
