Shipping companies that move alcohol into Missouri must give the state liquor control office a copy of the shipping paperwork when asked. That paperwork has to show who sent it, who is getting it, when and where it was picked up, where it is going, and how much alcohol is in the shipment. If a shipping company does not do this, it owes the state $50 for each time it fails to comply.
