The resources found on this page is only intended to be a beginner's guide to the rules and laws active in each individual state. Additional local (county, city, borough, township, etc.) regulations or restrictions that are not covered here may apply to your destination address, inhibiting or infringing on your ability to have Culinary Solvent shipped to you. We strongly advise all our customers to research the regulations of their local area to the fullest extent possible before ordering. While we will do our best to post updates as soon as we are aware of them, this page should not be considered your first or only resource if you are uncertain about your state's or locality's regulations on shipping food grade ethanol.

Also, not all states use the same words to describe non-beverage ethanol products like Culinary Solvent. Some local regulations might use the following terms to refer to food grade ethanol interchangeably:

nonvolatile solvent
industrial alcohol
non-denatured/nondenatured/undenatured ethyl alcohol
alcohol used for manufacturing

Be aware that you may need to learn the preferred terminology of your locality while researching regulations for shipping/receiving ethanol in order to find the correct information.
