Kansas Liquor License Special Order Shipping Bond
Overview
Kansas wineries, distilleries, and out-of-state suppliers who want to ship liquor directly to Kansas consumers or retailers must carry this bond before the state will approve their special order shipping license. It guarantees that the licensee will collect and remit all applicable Kansas liquor taxes and comply with the shipping rules set by the state. Without it, your special order shipping license application goes nowhere.
Who Needs This Bond?
Out-of-state wineries shipping directly to Kansas buyers, in-state craft distilleries fulfilling special orders, and licensed liquor suppliers seeking special order shipping privileges all need this bond. If the Kansas Department of Revenue or the Kansas Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control has told you that a surety bond is required alongside your special order shipping license application, this is the bond you need. It is a statewide requirement — not tied to any single city or county.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the state of Kansas by ensuring that any business authorized to ship liquor under a special order shipping license pays all taxes and fees owed on those shipments. If a licensee ships alcohol into Kansas without properly remitting excise taxes or violates the terms of the license, the bond provides a financial remedy for the state. It is a guarantee of lawful, tax-compliant behavior — not liability insurance for accidents or product claims.
When is it Required?
During the license application process is when this bond typically surfaces — specifically when you submit your special order shipping license paperwork to the state. The agency will not issue or renew the license until a valid surety bond is on file. If your license is up for renewal, you will need a current bond in place before the renewal is approved.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a Kansas statewide requirement administered through the Kansas Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control. It covers all special order shipping activity conducted under the license anywhere within the state of Kansas. There is no local or county-level equivalent — one bond satisfies the statewide obligation.
