It is against federal law to ship or transport alcoholic beverages across state or territory lines, or in from a foreign country, when someone intends the alcohol to be received, possessed, sold, or used in violation of the receiving state or territory's own law.

This section bans shipping alcohol into places where it would break local law. It covers "spirituous, vinous, malted, fermented, or other intoxicating liquor of any kind" — meaning essentially any alcoholic beverage. The ban applies to shipping or transporting that alcohol, by any method, from one state, territory, or similar U.S. jurisdiction into another, or from a foreign country into any such U.S. jurisdiction. The shipment is prohibited only when some person with an interest in the alcohol intends it to be received, possessed, sold, or used — whether still in its original packaging or not — in a way that breaks a law of the state, territory, or jurisdiction it's being shipped into. The section is a single unbroken provision with no lettered subsections.
