Wine: Permitted Spirits: Permitted

Washington permits direct shipping for licensed wineries and distilleries. Out-of-state direct shippers must collect and remit Washington state and local retail sales tax.

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

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

Excise & Sales Tax Rates
$0.87 per gallon (wine) / $14.27 per gallon (spirits) (Excise) | 6.5% state + local retail sales tax (up to 10.4%) (Sales)
