To amend title 18, United States Code, to include Guam for purposes of

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
OCTOBER 11, 2019 
Mr. SAN NICOLAS introduced the following bill; which was referred to the 
Committee on the Judiciary 
A BILL 
To amend title 18, United States Code, to include Guam 
for purposes of statutes prohibiting trafficking in contra-
band cigarettes, and for other purposes. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Guam Cigarette Tax 
Enforcement Act’’.

States territories, including within the Federal 
criminal code. 
(2) The territory of Guam has lost significant 
revenue due to prolific trafficking of contraband 
cigarettes onto the island. 
(3) Since Guam had increased its tobacco tax 
by 200 percent in 2010, local numbers have indi-
cated that at least 98 million cigarettes are untaxed 
every three years, amounting to a loss of approxi-
mately $14.6 million. 
(4) Given its proximity to Asian countries 
where tobacco products, including cigarettes, are in-
credibly inexpensive, the propensity for cigarette 
trafficking leading to tax evasion is greater. 
(5) Without the assistance of Federal enforce-
ment and resources, Guam remains vulnerable to 
cigarette trafficking and is at a high risk for tax 
evasion.

PROHIBITING TRAFFICKING IN CONTRABAND

Section 2341 of title 18, United States Code, is

monwealth of Puerto Rico,’’ the following: ‘‘Guam,’’.
