What are genuine tax free cigarettes? In
other words, is there anything truly like that available in United States?
Legally, there are tax free cigarettes available in US, such as the ones
manufactured and sold by the Seneca Nation of Indians based in western New York. But, then it
is available only in selected websites/shops. In rest of the country, there is
a federal tax of $3.90 levied per carton of cigarettes. That gives an idea as
to why a carton of genuine Marlboro, Winston, Montclair, Salem or Camel costs around $40.
Then, there is this illegally sold ‘tax
free’ cheap cigarettes that are available in various online stores. Such cheap Salem and Marlboro cigarettes are only
half the price of an original taxed
cigarette carton because their price does not include the taxation amount. For
example, when the taxed cigarette
carton costs $40 or more in the market/stores, the same brand cheap discount
cigarettes sold illegally online costs a lowly $12 or $13.
From the above, it is clear that the major
chunk of the price charged on
cigarette cartons is owing to the various taxes imposed
on its manufacture, raw materials, sale etc. The actual cost of the cigarettes
minus the taxes will be only half of its market price. This is also exactly the
reason why there is a mad rush for cheap
online cigarettes all over the US. However, don’t take it for
granted that online sales of cheap
premium cigarettes are allowed in
all states in US. For example, states like California has already banned the online marketing and sales of cheap
cigarettes or any other cigar and tobacco brands.
Most online cigarette stores also ship
cheap discount cigarettes to other countries as well, provided the country of the customer permits such
trans-national shipping of cigarette cartons. Such a reservation is relevant as
in certain countries like Thailand,
India,
Angola,
and Spain,
where shipping of cheap discount cigarettes is banned
by stringent laws, and is a punishable offence if somebody is found violating
it. Usually, hence, most online cigarette stores mention in no uncertain terms
in their website to which all countries they ship cheap discount cigarettes and to which all
nations they do not.
The genuine cheap cigarette online stores,
selling tax free cigarettes, are the ones that are governed by the Seneca
Nations of Indians Business Code, and usually will carry a certified Seneca
Nations of Indians online retailer seal. And for a customer to complete a
purchase with such a store, the person has to prove that he/she is above
eighteen years old and holds a valid driving license. The sale is made only
after the verification is finished. Once it is done, the cigarettes will be
shipped normally within 5-7 days of order.
Tax free cigarettes are also sent through
mail, in which case the rules, regulations and procedures
of the post office are also to be followed.
The US
law also bans tax free cigarettes from reselling in any form. It is only for
personal use.
