Liquor Agents Extend Border Checks to Enforce Tax Orders
Two investigators from the state liquor license and control bureau plus a luxury tax division member were sent to unannounced border points to enforce a tax commission order banning Mexican liquor imports that evade the luxury tax. Officials hinted at Douglas and Naco deployment while Nogales has already seen agents for over a week. The law bans tax on imports and limits stamps sales to licensed wholesalers and retailers. The federal rule allows one gallon per person monthly, but the commission seeks to prohibit that as well.
