    Hi Crullers,

    So, in average, how often do you get customs fees when you purchase from sweden?

    I thought dip was like snus and that it wasn't too dangerous for the health. I release that it is not the same thing at all and i will try to make snus instead of dip.
    I just ordered some snus from northener EU.

    THanks,
    Charles

      I estimate about half get dinged for customs when they are small parcels of 5 cans or less. Keep in mind that your success rate may be different in Quebec. I don't know where the customs inspections take place - whether there is one location that inspects for the entire country or if it is done regionally/provincially.

      Snus is less harmful than dip, but apparently dip has become less harmful in recent years. I like snus the best but I find dip nice occasionally. I like to use it when I am doing yard work, etc. outside at home. Something about having a chin full of brown drool keeps the pesky neighbours away

      Also, nasal snuff is a nice change of pace sometimes.

        Hi,

        as an update, i receive by now 5 packets of snus threw the northener website.

        i ordered 3 times from USA. 3 of the package got customs.
        i receive 2 packets from EU. 1 packet got customs fees (20.50$ for 3 cans).

        Also, my friend got 2 package from USA. Only 1 got customs. He got one with 5 cans without fees.

          Damn, man !!! How was the taste ? Did you just put a lip in or did you put the can in the freezer for some time ? It helps to keep closed cans in the freezer. After you can take them out, put em in the refrigarator for some time and then enjoy !! It helps to regain some moisture and imho it enhances the flavour. Nothing beats a good can of dip straight from the freezer. :-)

          ----UPDATE---- Forget it, you already now about the fridge.

          I am in Germany i have to visit customs all the time when i get dip/chew from the states. The good thing is, when it comes from friends it is mostly free of charge but when i order i have to pay some serious money most of the time. It fuc*** me up.

            Hi,

            i always put my dip in the fridge to store them.

            With my copenhaggen, i put it in the fridge and added some whiskey in it. I really don't like the taste.

            Nothing better than a can of skoal citrus btw

              I have a 100% successs rate worldwide.....so far That includes a ton of snus shipped to canada and not one order has ever been dinged by customs anywhere. I will ship up to 4 rolls of portions and 3 rolls of los, but that mostly because if the packages are over 4 lbs the shipping cost goes way up shipping out of the usa. In the usa I can ship any amount and the shipping cost goes up in a normal fashion. You live in the USA order 10 or more rolls if you want with no problems.

              Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





              I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.
