"Attorney General William Tong today announced a settlement with the United States Postal Service (USPS) that implements robust measures to end foreign shippers’ unlawful practice of mailing cigarettes into the United States. The settlement resolves a lawsuit filed by Connecticut, California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and the City of New York alleging the USPS has, for over a decade, transported and delivered untaxed, foreign cigarettes to U.S. households in violation of federal law." |
