tax stamps
Duty payment markers
Tax stamps are official stamps affixed to goods—especially tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis—to prove that required taxes have been paid.
They serve as proof of legality and help governments track regulated products.
Counterfeit tax stamps indicate smuggled or untaxed goods: The cigarettes lacked valid tax stamps.
In some contexts, tax stamps function as permits, particularly for firearms under U.S. federal law.
