The annual fee for the license is two thousand dollars ($2,000) prorated to the year ending December 1 in every calendar year, and shall be paid to the general treasurer for the use of the state. Whenever any malt beverages or wines are sold outside the state pursuant to this section, refunds or credits of import fees previously paid on those malt beverages or wines shall be made to holders of wholesaler's licenses under this title in accordance with regulations promulgated by the division of taxation.
