Every express company or common carrier is required to submit monthly reports of known alcoholic liquor shipments from outside of the State of Kansas that was delivered to consumers within the State of Kansas.

A carrier company who willfully refuses to file a report shall be subject to a civil penalty of up to $500. The liquor carrier monthly report must be filed no later than the 15th day of the following month for the previous calendar month's shipments. The liquor carrier monthly report must still be filed, even if the carrier did not deliver any beer, wine, or spirits to Kansas addresses.

A carrier shall maintain all records supporting monthly reports of alcoholic liquors delivered in Kansas for a period of two years. Upon request by the ABC director, additional records supporting the report shall be made available.
