Direct Shipping to Massachusetts

2026 Direct-to-Consumer Beverage Alcohol Regulatory Profile

Wine: Permitted Spirits: Prohibited

Massachusetts permits direct-to-consumer wine shipping up to 12 cases annually per consumer under an ABCC Direct Wine Shipper License.

Annual Volume Limits
12 9-liter cases per adult per calendar year

CaskStack’s Pre-Allocation Validation Engine automatically audits orders against individual state limits before credit cards are billed.

Permit & Licensing
Massachusetts ABCC Direct Wine Shipper License

Shippers must maintain an active state direct shipper permit. CaskStack tracks expiration dates and warns 30 days prior to renewal.

Excise & Sales Tax Rates
$0.55 per gallon (Excise) | 6.25% state sales tax (Sales)

CaskStack generates monthly state excise tax workbooks ready for 1-click export to state revenue portals.

Dry County & Precinct Rules
A small number of towns (e.g. Chilmark, Alford) have local alcohol bans.

CaskStack uses U.S. Census Bureau 15-digit tract geocoding to identify and suppress dry precinct addresses before shipping.
