United Parcel Service Inc. v. New York
Petition for certiorari denied on October 5, 2020
Issues: (1) Whether multiple shipments from different shippers may be aggregated to
satisfy the 10,000-cigarette threshold of the Contraband Cigarette Trafficking Act, which prohibits the knowing transportation of “a quantity” of
more than 10,000 untaxed cigarettes in the “possession” of unauthorized persons; and (2) whether substantial compliance is a prerequisite to the statutory exemption of the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act of
2009, which exempts the United Parcel Service by name if its tobacco-delivery
agreement with New York is “honored” nationwide.
