Let's go straight to the Horse's Mouth (or in this case, the BATF, you know, the guys with the guns):

SALES/PURCHASES INVOLVING NATIVE AMERICAN RESERVATIONS

ATF has recently received several inquiries about cigarette sales and purchases that involve Native American reservations. Sales or shipments of cigarettes from Native American Reservations are not exempt from the requirements of the Contraband Cigarette Trafficking Act and the Jenkins Act. Additionally, the application of State taxes and regulatory requirements to sales made on Native American reservations varies depending on the transaction. Accordingly, anytime you engage in transactions involving a Native American Reservation, ATF recommends that you contact your State tobacco tax administrator to determine the extent of your liability for State tobacco tax.

Which of course I do. In fact I have my state tobacco tax administrator on speed dial. Although I don't recall voting for him (her?).

So, any word on if Switzerland is exempt from the Jenkins Act? Will the BATF invade / burn down Switzerland?
