Has anyone ever been arrested for CC's?

And re my earlier post, those people cleared to visit cuba bring back cigars for their own consumption. That essentially means they cannot "sell" them. They can share them with friends and family. Hence i have adopted several cubans.

Sending cigars in the US mail is not a violation of Postal regulations. Without a search warrant the package cannot be searched, even if damaged. Under the correct situation however when discovered they could detain and turn over products that may be in violation of other Federal Law to the appropriate agency, in this case ICE.

Read my earlier post. They can be cleared to visit Cuba. But what they are doing is in violation of the law. Even when the exemption existed for them to share with you would have been a violation, albeit a violation no one would pursue.

One thing I can clear up:

This applies to domestic mail only. International mail is subject to CBP's authority to engage in warrantless searches of nearly all international mail being sent to a US address, see 19 C.F.R. 145.2.
