of the track and trace system and transmit it to the Bureau and the licensee receiving the
shipment by electronic mail.
(f) If the transporting distributor has access to the track and trace system and the licensee
receiving the shipment has not obtained access to the track and trace system, the distributor shall
complete the shipping manifest in the track and trace system and transmit it to the Bureau.
