Shipping Alcohol from the US – How does it Work?

Export and import of alcohol respectively is not an easy task. Most of the states and carriers regulate it. Alcohol falls under special restrictions and limitations which make its logistics complicated. Fortunately, we have an Alcoholic Beverage Transportation Permit. So, you don’t have to limit yourself and you can order it directly from the US.

The package with the alcohol needs to be shipped to our California or Oregon warehouses and repacked (using our special request) to meet the DHL Express alcohol shipping standard. DHL Worldwide Express is also the only delivery method we can use for exporting alcohol from the US. Since logistics can be “rough” sometimes, we will make sure the contents of the package are safe. An example of packaging alcohol bottles can be seen in the picture below.
