Illinois is a “Three-Tier” system in which all alcohol greater than one gallon passes first from importers or manufacturers to distributors and then to retailers before finally being offered for sale to consumers.  \nThe Commission, however, can make exceptions on a case by case basis for individuals who are returning or moving to Illinois from overseas with personal collections of alcoholic beverages. The following information is provided to you as a courtesy by the Illinois Liquor Control Commission and does not guarantee your Request for ImportAuthorization will be granted. Each request will be reviewed by the Commission’s staff with an eye toward determining if the alcohol requested for import isofa “saleable”quality or quantity. Afinal determination will be made by the Commission’s Executive Director; if approved, ImportAuthorization will be issued within one to two days of receipt of the Request.  \nThe United States Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Customs and Border Security should be contacted prior to requesting ImportAuthorization from the Illinois Liquor Control Commission. Those agencies will have federal requirements for the importation of alcohol, including excise tax and duties that must be paid to the Federal Government. U.S. Customs will also require authorization from the state into which the alcohol istobe imported. If the final destination of the alcoholic beverage you wish to import is in a state other than Illinois, you must contact that state’s alcoholic beverage control authority, even if your imported alcohol passes through the State of Illinois. U.S. Customs will hold the imported alcoholic beverage at a port of entry such as O’Hare International Airport until presented with authorization from the state of final destination for the product.  \nThe importation of alcohol into the State of Illinois for personal consumption only and not forresalein any form, is allowed with: 1) Prior authorization by the Illinois Liquor Control Commission; and 2) Payment of the required“Use Tax”to the Illinois Department of Revenue. Both the import authorization and a receipt for the taxes paid are required for U.S. Customs officials to the release the imported alcohol from its port of entry.  \nA request for ImportAuthorization from the State of Illinois must be received in writing. Please use the enclosed Request for Import Authorization form when submitting your request. Once the Commission has received this information, we shall review the request and, if appropriate, issue the Import Authorization. We will send the original to the address specified on the attached, forward a copy to the Illinois Department of Revenue, and keep a copy for our records. If the importer wishes to have an additional copy faxed to another location, such as your current residence overseas, please include that number in the letter as well (we cannot issue Authorizations over e-mail at this time).  \nThe Illinois Liquor Control Commission makes no judgment or decision regarding any tax liability resulting from the importation of the aforementioned alcoholic beverage. It is solely your responsibility to insure that all tax obligations to the Illinois Department of Revenue have been met. Please read the instructions and complete the enclosed Illinois Use Tax Return (Form ST-44) and senditto the address listed on the form. If you have any further questions regarding taxation issues, please contact Taxpayer Services at 800-732-8866 atthe Illinois Department of Revenue.  \nPlease note, the above procedure is an exception to the general prohibition against importing alcoholic beverages outside of the “three tier” system. This procedure isnot intended tobe used by individuals for bulk purchases of alcohol overseas.
