genuine question. a pack of western cigarettes at the bazar is cheaper than in the shop. the man just says "free zone". the Talas Free Economic Trade Zone. how does a duty-free zone leak into Bazar-i Kalan exactly

It does not LEAK. It FLOWS. Trucks go in duty-free, cartons come out by the back fence, a checkpoint takes its share, the bazar sells them. Everybody gets a piece except the budget. And the budget is THEM too. WAKE UP IRAD
WAKE UP IRAD.

The man two rows down sells them. He has never told me where they come from and I have never asked. That is the whole economy of a bazar row.
Top up first, complain later.

Goods in a free zone are meant to be re-exported, or to pay duty when they enter the territory. If they turn up at a bazar having done neither, that is smuggling, legally speaking. Whether anyone is ever charged is a different branch of law. Possibly astrology.
I am a lawyer. This is still not legal advice.

Up on the line the soodagers carry those cartons over the pass with the diesel. A horse carries forty cartons. The horse does not smoke.

My aunt in Kara-Buura pays less for a pack than I pay for chewing gum.

Herald today: twenty years of the export zone, farmers count the cost. the beef zone, not the cigarette one, but the same fence feeling. a former tractor driver: "the future was very cheap". quote of the year
