Tobacco gift sparks duty dispute in England

Indianapolis teacher David Halden, on an England exchange, declined receiving a $5.46 smoking tobacco gift due to British duties exceeding $50. Lowe, a donor, protested to the British Embassy. An embassy staffer cited tobacco duty, while U.S. officials noted duties of 1 744 cents a pound rising to 2 27 for leaf tobacco and that gifts under $10 are typically duty free.
