A.  In order to secure to the state the tax levied under the provisions of this Chapter, the handling of beverages of high alcoholic content for transportation beyond the borders of the state shall be in accordance with rules and regulations of the secretary, the United States Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages, and the United States Customs Office.  

B.  The secretary may promulgate and publish rules and regulations with respect to the handling and transportation of such beverages for delivery beyond the borders of the state.  This authority includes requiring any information in the form of reports and statements that may be required to establish that the beverage of high alcoholic content in question was transported beyond the borders of the state; the designation of the method of transportation; the establishment of a system of permits before permitting sales for delivery beyond the borders of this state; and the fixing of the amount to be transported beyond the state’s borders in one shipment, except that this amount cannot be fixed at less than fifteen standard gallons when a mode of transportation other than common carrier is designated.  

C.  The failure to comply with these rules and regulations of the secretary is cause for the revocation of the permit of the dealer violating them and subjects him to the payment of a specific penalty, in addition to other penalties provided in this Chapter in an amount equal to twice the amount of tax that would have been due if the sale of the beverages had been made for consumption in Louisiana.
