More generally, earning money in a foreign country is usually subject to the tax laws of that country, as well as the tax laws of one's resident country. Obviously, it can all be done "off the books," but one should carefully consider the legal and tax ramifications of selling anything (much less alcohol or tobacco) abroad. I'm not passing judgment or saying it can/can't be done; I'm simply warning those who might consider this to cover all bases.
