JAIL TIME FOR ILLEGAL IMPORTATION OF 10 MILLION CIGARETTES
A 38 year old Victorian man pleaded guilty to smuggling tobacco on 4 October 2021, and on 20 April 2022 was sentenced in the Melbourne County Court to three years’ imprisonment with 18 months to serve.
“There is common misconception that engaging in the illicit tobacco trade is a victimless crime, but it is far from it. Buying illicit tobacco is a crime. It funds organised criminal syndicates and supports them to undertake other serious criminal activities that harm Australian society. It also takes away potential income from genuine retailers, sometimes small family-run businesses, who abide by the law and are supporters of their local community.” states Commander Special Investigations Greg Linsdell.
Between 1 January and 31 December 2021, the ABF detected 878.8 tonnes of undeclared loose leaf tobacco and 712.7 million undeclared cigarette sticks, a 45 per cent increase on the previous year.The penalties for smuggling tobacco are severe and can include up to 10 years’ imprisonment and/or a fine of up to five times the amount of duty evaded.

Imperial
For Hybrid stores Imperial reps will be offering a $7.55 incl GST top up next week if retailers contribute $1.00 per pouch. Flyer can be found under promotions. Make sure you speak to your Imperial representative.
BAT
In preparation for the impending Price List estimated for the 6th June ‘22, BATA will begin monitoring store level purchase volumes and may enact Stock Management Plans on a store by store basis. These Stock Management Plans will be implemented within 24 hours if purchases are deemed above regular patterns to ensure continuity of supply to consumers. The intention is to minimise the impact at store level for retailers. Should it be required, BATA at its absolute discretion may adjust store stock management plans either up or down based on actual vs. forecasted volume for the period. This will be communicated to TSG and to the store.
