Sec.  27.31  Warehouse receipts covering distilled spirits.

    The sale of warehouse receipts for distilled spirits is equivalent 
to the sale of distilled spirits. Accordingly, except during the 
suspension period described in Sec.  27.30(b), every person engaged in 
business as an importer of distilled spirits, who sells, or offers for 
sale, warehouse receipts for distilled spirits stored in customs bonded 
warehouses, or elsewhere, incurs liability to special tax as a dealer in 
liquors at the place where the warehouse receipts are sold or offered 
for sale, and must file return and pay occupational tax as provided in 
Sec.  27.30(a). During the suspension period, every such person must 
register as provided in Sec.  27.30(b).
