    your questions is country specific, whatever you will ship you have declare content of shipment and then it is up to the post of receiving country what they will do

    Many countries have a specific licensing and taxation requirement for tobacco retailers. Like slogold says, it's specific to each country. The best thing to do is to contact your jurisdiction's revenue agency about what is necessary to legally sell tobacco.

    I know someone that buys online overseas all the time. They are cheaper because they do not charge
    nearly the taxes that US charge, and from what I understand this one place does not report your purchases, and
    it does not matter how you go about it, you will still need permits and such, I am sure it is complex mess to
    get into in order to sell cig, but the cheaper you can sell them and still make profit, the more orders you
    get. I know in the US most of the sale on a pack or carton is nothing but taxes...and the postal
    service will consider cig a contraband, I am sure there are ways around this because the person
    I know gets his cig from overseas, this is something you would have to look into very closely...
