Reports

NRS 369.450: Liquor may be imported into Nevada only by common carrier, contract carrier, or a carrier having a special permit to do so.

Every common and contract carrier must make available to the Department a statement or freight bill for every shipment of liquor into this state, showing:

1. The names of the consignor, consignee and carrier of the shipment;
2. The date when and place where the shipment was received; and
3. The destination of the shipment.

The Department of Taxation also requires:

1. The carrier to have the consignee sign a document for the receipt of each shipment before the carrier permits the consignee to remove the shipment from the point destination or possession of the carrier; and
2. The consignor, upon receipt of the document after it has been signed by the consignee, to forward the statement or postcard to the Department.

By special permit, the Department may authorize the transportation of liquor by means of a conveyance owned and operated by a licensed importer, or a conveyance owned and operated by the permittee or another, not being a common carrier or a regularly operating contract carrier. As a condition of the permit, the Department may require that a sign be carried on the conveyance, in letters at least 3 inches high, stating that the conveyance is carrying wholesale liquor by special permit. Such carriers by special permit are subject to the same rules respecting reports and deliveries of import liquors as are common carriers and regularly operating contract carriers.
