OAR 845-006-0380: Certificate of Approval for Distilled Spirits

(1) The Commission issues a Certificate of Approval for Distilled Spirits (CER-D) to manufacturers, importers and others who import distilled spirits into Oregon for sale in the state. CER-Ds are also issued to vendors who import grain and ethyl alcohol into Oregon for scientific, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, mechanical or industrial use. There is no fee to obtain a CER-D. (2) No person may import distilled spirits or grain and ethyl alcohol into Oregon who does not hold a CER-D or whose CER-D is suspended or revoked. Once a CER-D has been revoked it remains revoked until reinstated by the Commission. (3) The holder of a CER-D is subject to and must comply with the tied house and financial assistance requirements contained in ORS 471.392-.400 and division 13 of chapter 845 of the Commission’s administrative rules. Violation of any provisions of ORS 471.392-.400 or division 13 by a CER-D holder or its agent is grounds for the Commission to suspend or revoke the CER-D.
