Frequently Asked Questions

What are Duty-Free cigarettes?

Shopping "duty-free" means not paying state tax, federal tax and excise tax. This means you can buy your favorite brand cigarettes at a fraction of the retail cost! Taxes are not included in prices because duty-free cigarettes are shipped from authorized duty-free, bonded warehouses to global locations. Destination tax regulations are completely different from one country to another and tobacco products are shipped to more than one hundred different countries.
