I made three orders through northerner.. first was a roll of LD black customs was 39 i paid it since its my favorite.. next was 9 random individual flavors.. i paid 10 for that one. next was my thunder frost roll .. customs is asking me for 159.53 lol needless to say northerner will be getting their frost back. no way in hell im paying that.. how does customs even work lol.. guess i wont b trying this snus

Your customs is famous world round. Not just snus. I work in an industry where folks in Canada have to import a bunch of critical stuff from the US. Getting it through customs is a famous PITA for them. A topic of most conversations when I talk with my former students from Canada.

Best bet is to just try again. It is really hit and miss.

ya it does suck.. just not realistic lol 1 guy cheks 10 and says 39, nextguy checks 9 says 10 and another guy checks 10 again and says 159 lol

[sagedil]

Sounds like they went to the same training classes as the people who work at our DMV's. :P

You go one day, the guy wants you to get this and that and pay this to register your car. You go another day, and some other guy tells you "whatever, just pay $20 and get out of my face".

ya exactly lol how can they charge 159 on a 25 dollar purchase.. % wise it makes no sense.. cant be by weight either since my 10 dollar package had a ton of los in it. yet im charged only 10..

Do what Northerner says, 'do not order more than 5 cans to canada'

I pushed my luck with a roll of skruf and got dinged bad at the post office. I'm used to paying 30$ customs charges, for skateboard product shipped from the US, but almost 40$ for 10 cans??? 90% of my orders 4 cans or less come free.

I tried sending snus to a few people and i have found our customs mail me back the snus LOL. They also give me a fine to pay each time they send it back to me. ****ing morons.

I don't know how Canadians can do it.

Imposition of tax
2(1) Every purchaser shall pay to Her Majesty in right of Manitoba, for the public use of the government, a tax at the following rate or, if a rate prescribed by regulation is in effect, at the prescribed rate:
(a) 17.5¢ on every cigarette;
(b) for every cigar, $5. or 75% of its price at retail, whichever is less;
(c) 15¢ for every gram or fraction of a gram of raw leaf tobacco;
(d) 16.5¢ for every gram or fraction of a gram of tobacco not referred to in any of clauses (a) to (c).

24 grams x .165 = $3.96
45 grams x .165 = $7.425

and that's only the Provincial Tobacco Tax !

+ Federal Excise Duty ?
+ Federal Excise Tax ?
+ Federal GST ?
+ Provincial Sales Tax ?

Stew.12 has it right - only 5 cans per order, and most will come through scot-free, and the rest will have a $15 or so levy to pay when you pick them up at the post office.
