thirty-six cases (no more than nine liters per case) of liquor produced
by such licensee per year directly to a New York state resident who is

1. Licensee's shipping responsibilities. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary contained in this chapter, any above referred licensee:

(a) shall ship no more than thirty-six cases (no more than nine liters
per case) per year of liquor produced by such license holder directly to
a New York state resident who is at least twenty-one years of age, for
such resident's personal use and not for resale;

(b) may ship within the same packaging any and all alcoholic beverages
it lawfully produces and which it sells in accordance with its shipping
privileges and responsibilities pursuant to the provisions of this
section and sections thirty-six, fifty-nine-c, and seventy-nine-d of
this chapter, as applicable;

(c) shall ensure that the outside of each shipping container used to
ship liquor directly to a New York state resident is conspicuously

other language specifically approved by the New York state liquor

Such records shall be kept for three years and, upon written request, be
provided to the authority or the department of taxation and finance;

providing a valid form of photographic identification authorized by
section sixty-five-b of this article;

(ii) require a recipient to sign an electronic or paper form or other
