Can you send cigarettes in a package?


Can you send cigarettes in a package? UPS only allows sending tobacco in the mail if you have a legal license to do so. The package should also comply with local and federal laws. These laws can be found on every country's official website. However, you should know that UPS does not ship cigarettes at all.


What cannot be shipped by UPS?

What happens if you get caught mailing cigarettes?

Any cigarettes or smokeless tobacco made nonmailable by this subsection that are deposited in the mails shall be subject to seizure and forfeiture, pursuant to the procedures set forth in chapter 46 of this title.


How many cartons of cigarettes can you buy at once?

Shoppers who visit the store tend to buy two to five cartons at a time, shop owners say, while those who buy over the phone or Internet buy from 2 cartons to 50. (There is no legal limit to the number of cartons one customer can buy.)
