ordered for purchase by the Board for any period after the Board or its agent
comes into physical possession of such beverages, the Board shall not impose
upon any vendor required to provide stock under such bailment system any:

fact that a vendor has delivered to any warehouse, store or other facility owned
or operated by the Board or its agent bailed stock in excess of any maximum
inventory level established or suggested by the Board.

less than any minimum inventory level established or suggested by the Board.

3. Fee or charge for the movement of bailed stock within a bailment warehouse or
other bailment facility, or from a bailment warehouse or other bailment facility

the vendor holding legal title to such stock for the purpose of inspecting such
stock.

4. Fee or charge for conducting a physical inventory of bailed stock at the
request of the vendor holding legal title to such stock, provided that no more
