No More EU To EU Snus Sales! (EU Members Please Read!)

[Frosted]

On the plus side - my post count and points are going up loads and this thread is pretty popular.

Customs can be tipped off .... and bring in like 20 KG

But it's a high risk lol

like one of my uncles passed borders with 1000 packs of tobacco once in the back of his car lmao

[Brettv]

LOL yeah that sounds like a good plan...ask no questions.....

Ok now the question is ...

If you can't buy stuff online from EU companies

why would EU accept buying snus from US companies?

Isn't that stupid somehow?

Hey @brett ... going to sweden for 200 grams of tobacco is not a real good choice.

YOU CANT BUY IT FROM SWEDEN. THAT IS THE LAW. there is no law that says you can't by it from outside of sweden

YUO CANT BUY IT FROM SWEDEN. THAT IS THE LAW. there is no law that says you can't by it from outside of sweden

I know but you can only buy it from the U.S

Because there is no other country that I know of that sells snus legally but Sweden.

well that is just how it is. there is no law that says that you have to buy from the US if you are buying snus

Melchior researches the situation in Belgium, a country with about 7,000 Swedish expatriates, and she does find stores that sell snus. Customers give an address in Sweden (where the sale is not banned) and an invoice is sent to that address. The snus is then delivered to the store in Belgium. Only the sale is banned in Europe, not possession or moving larger amounts cross the borders, and technically the sale transaction has been made in Sweden.

This article dates from 2008, and related to the black market of snus in Belgium.

There are the two snus producers in Thailand i know of made by Swedish people out there...

This "customs-ban" has already been discussed in German snus-forums. Some forum-members had shipments seized since around October 2010.

Obviously there have been changes made recently to the tobacco laws, EU-wide, but only regarding the advertising of tobacco products. Some ill-informed customs-officers now probably have seen the tobacco-law for the first time, including the old, unchanged snus-article and misinterpreted it as an import-ban on snus. I also had to drive to the customs office once in December, but got the package handed out with no problems.

I think that the actual ban is first and foremost a measure of precaution initiated by SM and the webshops. Nonetheless, something else is going on for sure. The coke-snuffers in Brussels probably want to stop snus before it gets too big and really threatens the cigarette-tax-revenues.

I hate to speculate and wish that someone from Swedish Match finds time finally to comment on the situation.

Cheers!

I think you've already inspired another ragepost from Frosted, and I think that SM doesn't give a shit about us.

Can't ring from my desk, but will try to do so on my next fag break.

Haha, knew that would get a response

UK slang for a cigarette. Yes, until I get more Snus I'm back on the smokes.
