Hi, this is my first post. I want to ask how should I ship a case of homebrew to my cousin in Europe?? Thank in advance....
There's some good info in here: http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/i-need-some-help-with-an-international-trade.66332/
Mr. Kennedy, WHat if I want to send a pallet of craft beer. Let's Asia. How do i ensure the freshness of the beer? the shelf life is about 3-6 months for each bottle.
I've never sent anything close to a pallet, but I dare say you won't be putting the value at $25 on the customs form... Freshness would mean refrigeration. How this all works is way out of my realm though
I would have to use a logistic company. But, I wonder are there any way I can ensure the beer freshness during the boat right to Asia.
This seems to be your real question, based on your post in the other thread. You're going to run into some legality issues. It is one thing to send a few beers to another country, but to send an entire skid of alcohol will surely need some sort of tax on either/both countries involved. Possibly even a license. Brewers from Europe have shipped kegs over to the USA that have been held in US Customs for months, if they've even been released. You're probably better off contacting a larger brewery within your state that may export and asking if they can just give you a direction to take.
Thank you. I do have an U.S. exporter license. as long as the importer from the host country has its license, then i think i will be okay
