Warning!
People who buy, store, transport, send or transfer excise goods without excise stamps commit a fiscal crime or offence. They face a hefty fine or even imprisonment for up to three years.
Anyone who buys illegal goods puts their health and life at risk. Counterfeit cigarettes contain significantly more tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide, lead, cadmium and arsenic.
