  1. Collection and pick-up

    Are your spirits at a retailer, a shop or a distillery? Your MBE Center can arrange collection based on the pick-up location and available service options.

  2. Specialist packaging for spirits bottles

    Reinforced cardboard boxes, dividers that keep bottles apart and moulded inserts that restrict movement: packaging is selected according to bottle size, quantity and the shipping route.

  3. Transport, paperwork and tracking

    Your Center helps you select from available transport options, guides you through the required documents and remains your contact for shipment tracking.

  4. Additional protection with MBE SafeValue

    For eligible shipments, MBE SafeValue may cover the declared value of your goods, subject to the applicable terms, limits and exclusions. Find out more about SafeValue.

Why use specialist packaging?

Parcels are handled and moved throughout transit. Professional packing helps keep each bottle in place, prevents contact between bottles and reduces movement inside the box.

Boxes with protective dividersEach bottle has its own compartment, reducing the risk of bottles knocking together during handling.
Moulded polystyrene insertsThese shaped inserts hold bottles securely in place. This type of packaging is required for the documented MBE Spirits service for shipping Cognac and Armagnac to the United States.

Frequently asked questions

Your spirits shipping questions, answered.

Practical information to help you plan your shipment.

Which types of spirits can I ship with MBE?

Cognac, Armagnac, Calvados, whisky, rum, gin, vodka, liqueurs and other distilled spirits can be considered. Your MBE Center checks the shipping options against the product, destination country and carrier requirements. Not every spirit is accepted on every route.

Can I ship any type of spirit to the USA?

No. Requirements depend on the product, recipient and destination state. MBE has a dedicated service for certain personal-use shipments of Cognac and Armagnac. For other spirits, your Center can review available options without guaranteeing delivery.

Can MBE collect spirits directly from a seller?

Collection from a retailer or auction house can be arranged depending on the location, goods and available services. Include the pick-up address when requesting a quote.

Can I protect the declared value of my spirits shipment?

MBE SafeValue may be available depending on the product, its declared value and the eligibility requirements. Proof of value, limits and exclusions may apply. Read the official terms and conditions.

How is my spirits shipping quote calculated?

Your quote takes into account the type and quantity of spirits, collection point, destination, packaging, transport, and any paperwork or protection options. Your MBE Center explains which services are included.

What information do I need to request a quote?

Tell us which spirit you need to ship, how much, where it is being sent from and to, and whether it is a gift, a purchase from a third party, a sale or a regular shipment. Your MBE Center can help with any remaining details.
