Hey there. I just had a little question about shipping regulations and I wasn't sure where to find this information, so I thought maybe someone here could point me towards a good resource to use.

I'm currently living in Oregon. If I wanted to mail a jar of moonshine to someone in Brazil, how would I find out if I'd be breaking any laws by doing this?

According to this,

you cannot do it via USPS & you need a special license to ship with UPS, but FedEx may do it for a price. It'd be worth giving them a call or stopping in, anyway?
