Custom to expensive

[-General-]

Hello. I live in Norway, and there the custom on snus is way to high! the price on one can of snus is around $10. I was therefore thinking that maybe some of you on the forum could have any ideas of how I could buy snus online, and then get it into my country without paying the tax. Thank you very much! : )

Hmm, is customs stopping the mail that comes to you? I thought I remembered someone mentioning a website that will ship to you without taxes or something of the sort, I just do not know of the best way to get around customs.

Anyone else know a possible solution?

Welcome to Snuson -General-

One option s to have it shipped to someone else outside of the EU, then have them send it to you, but that s no guarantee. Reality, it is usually unwise to try to evade customs, you will get burnt.

Another option is for you to just go to Sweden, buy as much as you are allowed to bring back for personal consumption

Yes, the custom stopps the mail that comes to me. Could you possible get the link to that website? Because I'm very interested trying something like that out.

Thank you for that! I see, but I dont know who I could send it too, and driving to sweeden takes many many hours from where I'm living.

Thank you very much for the help so far!

Yeah, but you are so much closer than me!!! :lol: :lol:

Does customs allow you to import snussats without heavy taxes? I know a lot of Swedes that complain about taxes use them.

At one time you could import 5 cans at a time without paying extra taxes into Norway. Has that changed?

[-General-]

The rule is that if you have spended more than 24 hours in sweden, you are allowed to bring either 5 cans of loose snus, or 10 cans of portion snus, back to norway without paying taxes. But again, if I go to sweden just to buy 10 cans of snus, it will again be very expensive because of the costs to get there.

How about something like this:

Hmm, I think that the quality of the snus you make yourself wont be far as good as the one you can buy.
But "EsotericPC" said that he had heard of a website that sent without taxes, and that would be perfect, so if anyone else know of that, please tell me.

[sagedil]

It's buried in a thread somewhere. When I have a bit more time later, I'll find it for you

[-General-]

Okey, thank you very much! : )

Anyone else have any ideas? All help is appreciated : )

I think I found out who they were talking about.

Snusen.com tried using a loophole in the tax system and apparently failed to make it work.

Even if you find someone to ship you snus, if Norway customs gets your package you'll pay

e) Snus: kr 0,60 pr. gram av pakningens nettovekt.

There's one loophole, find someone serving in NATO in Norway to order it for you.

§ 3. Det gis fritak, refusjon eller ytes tilskudd for avgift på varer som:

f) selges til eller innføres av NATO eller NATOs hovedkvarter, styrker eller personell i den utstrekning dette følger av internasjonale avtaler Norge er forpliktet av. Fritaket omfatter på tilsvarende vilkår også styrker fra landene som deltar i Partnerskap for Fred.
