Foreign Web sites Using USPS To Ship Cigarettes

Cigarette Web sites use U.S. Mail, upset Senecas - City & Region - The Buffalo News: "dozens of offshore cigarette Web sites advertising that they don’t charge taxes but do use the U.S. Postal Service to deliver cheap smokes to people all over the United States.“We work only with the regular United States Postal Service to keep costs down,” another offshore company says on its Web site. “We Deliver to anywhere in the USA.”
Such advertisements upset Seneca Nation business people, because — starting in June — a new federal law called the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act, stopped them from using the U.S. Mail to make commercial cigarette deliveries."
