(a) Application. A beer manufacturer in the United States, who does not manufacture beer in California and desires to ship beer into this State, may make an application in person or by mail to the headquarters office of the department in Sacramento for an out-of-state beer manufacturer's certificate. Only one such certificate will be issued to any one beer manufacturer. The application shall be accompanied by the annual fee, and shall include a written undertaking and agreement by the applicant:

(2) That it will make available both in California and from outside the State, for inspection and copying by the department, all books, documents, and records located both within and without this State, which are pertinent to the activities of the applicant, its agents and agencies within this State controlled by it, in connection with the sale and distribution of its products within this State.

(b) Investigation. Upon receipt of an application for an out-of-state beer manufacturer's certificate accompanied by the annual fee, the department shall make an investigation to determine whether the applicant qualifies for the certificate applied for, or whether issuance would be in conflict with any law of this State or rule of the department.

(c) Fees. The fee for the out-of-state beer manufacturer's certificate shall be $50.00 per year or any portion thereof.

(d) Fiscal Year; Renewability. The certificate shall be issued on the basis of a fiscal year, commencing on July 1 and ending on June 30. The certificate may be renewed annually. Renewals must be postmarked on or before June 30 or the certificate will be cancelled effective July 1 of the new fiscal year.

(e) Nontransferable. An out-of-state beer manufacturer's certificate shall be nontransferable. The department shall cancel the certificate of any holder who has ceased doing business as an out-of-state beer manufacturer.
