Transporter's license
In Missouri, a person or business that moves more than five gallons of alcohol into, within, or through the state needs a special license. The license costs ten dollars a year, and the person must also put up a one thousand dollar bond. Some carriers already regulated by the state and people who already hold a Missouri liquor license do not need this extra license. Industrial alcohol is also exempt. A single-trip license is available for five dollars. Anyone delivering wine to a Missouri resident also needs a separate alcohol carrier license.
