It shall be unlawful for any person to ship or transport or cause to be shipped or transported into the State of Arkansas any spirituous liquors, vinous liquors, wines other than Arkansas wines, or beer or malt beverages from points without the state without first having obtained a permit from the Director of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division. A railroad company, express company, or bonded truck company or truck line operating under a certificate or permit issued by the Arkansas Department of Transportation, or a river transportation company shall not receive for shipment or ship into this state any package or receptacle containing distilled spirits unless a copy of the permit showing that payment of the taxes required by law has been made accompanies the shipment. The permit shall be in such form as may be prescribed by the director, and all such shipments into the state shall be governed by such rules as may be promulgated by the director. However, the railroad or express company or river transportation company shall not be required to obtain any permit to transport distilled spirits but shall be subject to all rules promulgated by the director. It shall be unlawful for any person who is permitted by law to manufacture, sell, or transport spirituous liquors, vinous liquors, wines other than Arkansas wines, or beer or malt beverages to transport or cause spirituous liquors, vinous liquors, wines other than Arkansas wines, or beer or malt beverages to be transported by any means of transportation except as may be prescribed by the rules of the director. However, spirits may be transported by truck or wagon from and to freight or express depots, to and from the place or places of business of the permittees and upon the premises of the permittees, from and to one (1) place of business to another place of business of the permittee, provided that the owner of trucks or wagons transporting distilled liquor as aforesaid, excepting trucks and wagons owned and operated by a railroad or express company, or bonded truck company or truck line operating under a certificate or permit issued by the Arkansas Department of Transportation, or a river transportation company, or by the person permitted by law to manufacture, sell, or transport spirituous liquors, vinous liquors, wines other than Arkansas wines, or beer or malt beverages shall procure a permit to engage in transportation and shall execute a bond satisfactory in amount, form, and as to surety, to be approved by the director, conditioned upon the lawful transportation of spirituous liquors, vinous liquors, wines other than Arkansas wines, or beer or malt beverages.
