Seizure and sale of liquor. Any shipment of liquor which cannot be received or accepted by the consignee for any reason in law may be seized by the Department or its agents and held subject to the order of the shipper for its return at the shipper’s expense. If it is not recovered by the shipper it shall be sold at public auction to any qualified importer in this state. The proceeds of such sale shall be remitted to the shipper, less any costs or outlays chargeable, or a lien, upon the shipment.
