As of January 1, 2016, wineries with a SD direct shipper license can ship wine directly to consumers in SD. In addition to holding a license, direct shippers must pay sales and excise taxes and file quarterly shipment reports. Beginning July 1, 2017, you will not be able to submit your direct shipper return without providing the common carrier tracking numbers. A link to the form used to apply for a SD Wine Shipper License, as well as the Sales and Use Tax license is available under License Forms. (Wineries apply for both licenses using the one application.)

• Direct shippers are prohibited from selling products below the manufacturers’ cost.
• A direct shipper shall record the name, address, date of birth, and telephone number of the person placing the order on the order form or other verifiable record.
• Licensees must verify the age of the purchaser by using an Online Age Verification Service or obtaining a copy of the purchaser’s government issued photo ID.
• A direct shipper shall label each package to be shipped in accordance with the provisions of this chapter so that it conspicuously contains words indicating the package contains alcohol and that the signature of a person twenty-one years of age or older is required for delivery.
