OAR 845-010-0210: Price Lists

(1) Any wholesale licensee of the Commission must maintain price lists at the licensed business premises for two years. Licensees must have these price lists available for Commission inspection at all times during business hours. (2) A licensee must charge all retailers the same price excluding any transportation costs. (3) The price list must show: (a) Every brand and type of product offered for sale; (b) The price for each size container; (c) The effective date of each price; (d) Any allowance granted for a returnable container; (e) Any handling fee on wine sold in less than the smallest multiple-package case available for sale; and (f) Any transportation costs. Since ORS 474.115 prohibits quantity discounts, a wholesaler may not base transportation costs on quantity. The licensee must also show the amount of any transportation cost on the retailer’s invoice. (4) A price list becomes effective on the date the wholesaler indicates on the list. (5) Once a licensee decreases a price, the licensee must not increase the price for 14 days. Whenever a licensee changes a price, the licensee must prepare a new price list. (6) After a price becomes effective, the licensee must sell only at that price. If a licensee sells malt beverages or wine at any other price, the Commission considers the sale to be giving financial assistance within the meaning of the Oregon Liquor Control Act and the Commission’s administrative rules. (7) The Commission does not require price lists for dock sales to consumers.
