(1) From the bulk transfer/terminal system within this state;

(2) From the bulk transfer/terminal system outside this state for delivery to a location in this state as represented on the shipping papers, provided that the supplier imports the motor fuel for the account of the supplier, or the supplier has made a tax precollection election pursuant to section 142.839; and

(3) Upon sale in a terminal or refinery in this state to any person not holding a supplier's license.

3. The measurements of fuel grade alcohol, blend stocks and blended fuel shall follow subdivision (1) of subsection 2 for blend fuels imported, and subdivision (2) of subsection 2 for alcohol and blend stocks imported into a terminal, even if by other than a bulk transfer.
