        originating with such person or his representative is tendered 
        for transmission through the mails (other than a mailing that 
        consists only of one or more sealed letters), to refuse to 
        accept any such mailing, unless such person or his 
        representative first establishes to the satisfaction of the 
        postmaster that the mailing does not contain any matter which 
        is nonmailable under this section; and
            ``(2) requires the person or his representative to cease

        of a State has reason to believe that any person has engaged or 
        is engaging in mailings to residents of that State in violation 
        of subsection (a)(2)(A), the State may bring, in an appropriate 
        district court of the United States, a civil action--
                    ``(A) to enjoin such mailings;
                    ``(B) to carry out paragraphs (1) and (4) of 
                subsection (b) with respect to such mailings; or
                    ``(C) to carry out subparagraphs (A) and (B).

        equal to the amount of any unpaid taxes on tobacco products 
        mailed in violation of subsection (a)(2)(A) to residents of the 
        State and such other relief as the court may deem appropriate.
            ``(2) Rights of the postal service.--The State shall serve 
        prior written notice of any action under paragraph (1) upon the 
        Postal Service and provide the Postal Service with a copy of 
        its complaint, except in any case in which such prior notice is 
        not feasible, in which case the State shall serve such notice 
        immediately upon instituting such action. The Postal Service, 
        in accordance with section 409(g)(2), shall have the right (A) 
        to intervene in the action, (B) upon so intervening, to be 
        heard on all matters arising therein, and (C) to file petitions 
        for appeal.
            ``(3) Effect on state court proceedings.--Nothing contained 
        in this section shall be considered to prohibit an authorized 
        State official from proceeding in State court on the basis of 
        an alleged violation of any general civil or criminal statute 
        of such State.
            ``(4) Limitation.--Whenever the Postal Service institutes a 
        civil action under subsection (a)(3) for a violation of 
        subsection (a)(2)(A), no State may, during the pendency of such 
        action, institute a separate civil action for any violation of 
        subsection (a)(2)(A) against any defendant named in the Postal 
        Service's complaint.
