In a word, YES. You are allowed
to order, for your personal use, 4 cartons per month of cigarettes from us
and 200 cigars. You are NOT allowed to re-sell them. This is in line with
EEC law on T2 duty paid goods. The important point here is that all the
tobacco we send you is DUTY and VAT PAID . We have paid all Spanish taxes
for you. How do you know? Simple. All the goods you receive will have a
stamp which looks like this: |
|
This is the official stamp
placed on all tobacco goods meaning that the goods have been purchased
legally from an official establishment (in Spain, tobacco is a
state monopoly). If you buy cigarettes from Spain which
donīt have this stamp, itīs not legal. This means you are breaking
the law by commiting a criminal offence.
NEWS UPDATE: 05/01/2001 - Worried about
Customs & Excise seizing your goods? Recently, the British press has
been publishing several articles quoting Customs & Excise as saying
that they are seizing tobacco goods sent by post, despite this being in
direct contravention of EEC law. Although this has not affected us
significantly, we have insituted a FREE REPLACEMENT ORDER policy in the
event that this may happen. What it means is this: if your goods were to
be illegaly seized by Customs, we will, free of charge, send you a
replacement order immediately. Your peace of mind is our guarantee
that you'll continue to shop with us.

& Excise activity against our customers has been non-existent since
June of this year. HOWEVER, for your peace of mind, our free replacement
offer still applies in the event that this situation should change.
