  In order to assure that the tax provided herein has been paid, every person who shall possess or transport any such beverages within this state in excess of five gallons (5 gals.)

The burden of proof shall be upon the person possessing or transporting any such beverages to establish to the satisfaction of the collection officers that the invoice, bill of sale or bill of lading possessed by the person and offered as evidence that the tax thereon has been paid does, in fact, relate to the identical beverages then possessed or being transported.   Any property confiscated as contraband solely for failure to have the documents required by this section may be returned upon order of the commissioner, without the necessity of a hearing, upon a showing satisfactory to the department of revenue that taxes imposed by the state of Tennessee upon such items have been paid.

No person shall solicit or receive any order for any such beverages in violation of this part, or give any information of how the same may be obtained in violation of this part.

  Any beer as defined in § 57-5-101(b) sold or offered for sale by, or in possession of, a retailer purchased from any person, firm or corporation, except a Tennessee wholesaler or distributor licensed in this state, is declared to be contraband and shall be subject to confiscation by the commissioner or any duly authorized representative, highway patrol officer, sheriff or other peace officer.   Any beer or other beverages described in § 57-5-101 imported into this state, in transit within this state, or in possession of a person or firm within this state not in accordance with any of the requirements of §§ 57-5-104 (except permit requirements on wholesalers in counties or cities in which they do not have an established location or place of business), 57-5-201, 57-5-206, 57-5-207, 57-5-401, 57-5-402, 57-5-404 — 57-5-406, 57-5-408 or 57-5-414 and the rules and regulations promulgated under them are declared to be contraband, and it, along with any vehicle in which it is being transported which is not a common carrier, may be seized, either with or without a warrant, by the commissioner or any duly authorized representative, highway patrolman, sheriff, or other peace officer. Any beer or other beverages or vehicles so seized shall be delivered promptly to the department for disposition.   Any beer so seized may, in the discretion of the commissioner, be deposited with a duly licensed Tennessee wholesaler or distributor, located nearest to the site of the seizure, engaged in handling the particular brand of beer involved. Such deposit shall be evidenced by a receipt issued to the commissioner by such wholesaler or distributor, stating the quantity and brand name of such beer so deposited. The receipt may subsequently be exchanged with the wholesaler or distributor issuing it for salable beer of the same quantity and brand name by any person or persons who may be entitled thereto or to the proceeds of the sale thereof in accordance with this chapter. Such receipts shall be admissible as evidence in any administrative hearing or any civil or criminal court hearing or trial.   If, incidental to a confiscation of contraband as defined herein, there is discovered any intoxicating liquor deemed to be held or transported illegally within the purview of § 57-3-411, § 57-9-201 or § 57-9-202, the confiscating officer is hereby empowered and required to seize such liquor, notwithstanding the fact that such officer may not otherwise be empowered to take such action under such section. Any intoxicating liquor seized pursuant hereto shall be delivered promptly, as provided by § 57-3-411, § 57-9-201 or § 57-9-202, whichever is appropriate, to the alcoholic beverage commission for sale or disposition as contraband in accordance with Chapters 2 4, or 6 of this title, whichever is appropriate.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 57 - Intoxicating Liquors|Chapter 5 - Beer|Part 4 - Transportation|§ 57-5-411. Disposition of Seized Property — Application of Proceeds — Taxes Paid Before Delivery of Property

  In the event the ruling of the commissioner is favorable to the claimant, the commissioner shall deliver to the claimant the property so seized. If the ruling is adverse to the claimant, or if a hearing is not applied for in writing within the ten (10) days following notice, and the commissioner determines the products to be salable, the commissioner is authorized to order sale of the property in the manner as herein provided, applying the proceeds from the sale first to the costs incurred in the seizure and sale of such articles and the balance, if any, to the state general fund, to be apportioned as tax under § 57-5-205. In the case of any contraband property seized by any law enforcement officer of any incorporated municipality or of any county and turned over by them to the department for confiscation, there shall be paid to the municipality or to the county served by such officer fifty percent (50%) of the net proceeds thereof. Any such beer, other beverages or vehicles so seized and ordered sold by the commissioner shall be sold at public sale by the department of general services, and the procedure to be followed shall be the same as now authorized by law under § 67-4-1021. It shall be incumbent upon the commissioner to notify a Tennessee distributor handling the same brand(s) of beer and/or other such beverages as that seized of such seizure and impending sale. All confiscated beer, suitable for sale at retail, shall first be offered for sale to the Tennessee wholesaler located nearest the site of the seizure engaged in handling the particular brand of beer involved at the same per case price (state beer barrelage tax included) that the wholesaler would be required to pay for such beer at the brewery. All confiscated beer “suitable for sale at retail” not purchased within ten (10) days by the Tennessee wholesaler, after being notified that such beer had been confiscated and was being offered for sale to such wholesaler, then shall be sold at public sale by the department of general services.   The seventeen percent (17%) wholesale beer tax as authorized in § 57-6-103 shall be added to the public sale price and the funds derived shall be remitted to the city in which the public sale is held. “Suitable for sale at retail” is determined by the commissioner.   The commissioner, before delivering any seized property to the successful bidder, shall require any tax due thereon to be paid to the department of revenue. Any seized beer or other beverages not sold within ninety (90) days following hearing, or declared to be unsalable by the commissioner, shall be destroyed by the commissioner in a manner which the commissioner may prescribe.

All costs and fees for witnesses and/or sheriffs shall be advanced or collected as provided in the case of witnesses attending upon cases in courts of record, and the service of subpoenas requiring their attendance and testimony.   If, upon the hearing, the claimant shall be found by the commissioner, or the commissioner's authorized representative, to be guilty of the matters charged, all of the costs provided for in subsection (a) shall be taxed and charged against the claimant, but if the charge against such claimant shall be dismissed, then such costs shall be paid by the commissioner out of the funds collected under this chapter, after approval by the commissioner, and shall be and constitute lawful expenditures hereunder.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 57 - Intoxicating Liquors|Chapter 5 - Beer|Part 4 - Transportation|§ 57-5-413. Review of Action of Commissioner

  Any action of the commissioner shall be reviewable by a petition for a common-law writ of certiorari in the chancery or circuit court of the county in which the offense occurred, which petition shall be filed within ten (10) days from the date of such action. Immediately upon the grant of the writ of certiorari, the commissioner shall cause to be made, certified and forwarded to the court a complete transcript of the proceedings in the cause, which shall contain all the proof submitted before the commissioner. The decision of the commissioner shall be reviewed solely upon the pleadings and transcript of the proceedings before the commissioner, and neither party shall be entitled to introduce any additional evidence in the court. The scope of any review proceedings involving persons already licensed as Tennessee beer wholesalers under this chapter shall be governed by §57-5-108 instead of the procedure set forth herein.
TN Code § 57-5-414 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 57 - Intoxicating Liquors|Chapter 5 - Beer|Part 4 - Transportation|§ 57-5-414. Inspection of Products, Records, Documents and Premises — Violation

 Every distributor or dealer in beer or other such beverages shall permit the commissioner, or the commissioner's authorized agent or representative, to inspect at any time all products, invoices, books, papers and memoranda as may be deemed necessary by the commissioner in ascertaining whether or not the tax levied under this chapter has been paid, or in determining the amount of such tax due. No licensed distributor or dealer shall be permitted to claim any part of the premises whereon the business was conducted to be exempt from inspection as being the licensed distributor's or dealer's dwelling or home, the application for certificate of registration under this chapter being declared an express waiver of such claim. All persons failing to permit the examination of such products, invoices, books and other memoranda, including the general books, both operating and proprietary ledgers, etc., or interfering with the orderly inspection or examination thereof, or failing to file such reports as may be required by the commissioner, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

The highway patrol shall likewise have concurrent authority to assist in the enforcement of this chapter and in the illegal traffic of untaxed beer products.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 57 - Intoxicating Liquors|Chapter 5 - Beer|Part 5 - Beer Wholesaler-Supplier Relations|§ 57-5-504. Transfer of Wholesaler's Business

  A wholesaler shall give the supplier written notice of the wholesaler's proposed transfer of the wholesaler's business not less than thirty (30) days prior to the completion of the transfer, except in cases of transfer by inheritance, in which case the transferee shall give the supplier written notice of the transferee's ownership interest within a reasonable time after the transfer is completed.   A supplier's consent shall not be required for any transfer of the wholesaler's business to a designated member or for any transfer of less than control of the wholesaler's business; however, a supplier's written consent shall be required for any transfer of the wholesaler's business to a person other than a designated member.   Notwithstanding subsection (b), written consent from a supplier shall be required for any transfer of the wholesaler's business to a designated member or other transferee if any of the following conditions apply:  The transferee or any owner of the transferee has been convicted of a felony under the United States Code or the laws of any state which would adversely affect the good will or interests of the wholesaler or supplier;   The transferee or any owner of the transferee has had a previous alcoholic beverage license revoked or suspended by the regulatory agency of the United States government or any state, whereby service was interrupted for more than ninety (90) days;   The transferee or any owner of the transferee is insolvent or has filed any voluntary or involuntary petition under any bankruptcy or receivership laws, or has executed an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or   The transferee or any owner of the transferee has had any previous agreement with the supplier involuntarily terminated, cancelled, discontinued or not renewed by the supplier for good cause.     If the transferee is a designated member, a supplier shall not interfere with, prevent or unreasonably delay the transfer of the wholesaler's business. An unreasonable delay is one that exceeds thirty (30) days after the intended date of transfer as set forth in the notice required by subsection (a).   If the transferee is not a designated member, a supplier may not withhold consent or unreasonably interfere with or delay the transfer if the transferee meets reasonable standards and qualifications which are nondiscriminatory and material. An unreasonable delay is one that exceeds thirty (30) days after the receipt of all material information reasonably requested. The supplier shall have the burden of proving that the proposed transferee does not meet such standards and qualifications.

  A supplier may amend, modify, terminate, cancel, discontinue or fail to renew an agreement with a wholesaler immediately upon written notice given by the supplier as provided in § 57-5-508 only if any of the following occurs:  Revocation of a governmental permit held by the wholesaler, whereby the wholesaler cannot service the wholesaler's sales territory for a period of more than sixty (60) days;   Insolvency of the wholesaler, the filing of any petition by or against the wholesaler under any bankruptcy or receivership law, or the assignment for the benefit of creditors or dissolution or liquidation of the wholesaler, where such condition materially affects the wholesaler's ability to remain in business;   Fraud by the wholesaler in dealings with the supplier or its products that adversely affects the interests of the supplier;   Violation of § 57-6-104(f), if it was done at the direction or with the knowledge of a substantial stockholder or substantial partner. If a governmental permit held by a wholesaler is suspended temporarily so that the wholesaler cannot service its sales territory for a brand or brands, then upon agreement of the supplier of that brand or brands and the wholesaler whose permit has been suspended, another wholesaler who handles the same brand or brands can service the sales territory during the period of suspension; or   The wholesaler has failed to pay for beer ordered and delivered in accordance with established terms with a supplier and fails to make full payment within five (5) business days after receipt of written notice of the delinquency and demand for immediate payment from the supplier.     Where the wholesaler notifies the supplier in writing by certified mail of the wholesaler's intent to cease distribution of a brand sold by the supplier, the supplier can amend, modify, terminate, cancel, discontinue or fail to renew the agreement immediately with respect to that brand.
