EDS: Clients who used a Cronkite News story slugged BC-CNS-Contraband Coalition that moved Wednesday, Oct. 6, under a PHOENIX dateline are asked to run the following correction. The errors occurred in the second, fifth, sixth and last grafs of the original. A corrected version of the story has been posted here.

WASHINGTON – An Oct. 6 Cronkite News story on a coalition fighting contraband smuggling included several errors. It should have said it was a 2018 report that said about 36% of cigarettes consumed in Arizona had been smuggled; that the coalition will present its recommendations to Congress; that the campaign is highlighting tobacco, but will also include fentanyl and human trafficking; and that it will focus on training and new information for local officials and law enforcement, and national strategies to fight illegal trade.
