I've used it, snus is officially untaxed in the UK, and I've gotten 2 rolls of portions and 1 can of American dip from America via the northerner, and I got off scotch free (It's been a few months now, and no letter or anything).
I'm guessing that probably the customs have no clue what the f*** snus is and the do not even know that is is not taxed, because there was this one fella, who ordered a roll of los and had to either pay 92 pounds in taxes or just not accept the package.

The scope of UK Excise law

The scope of Tobacco Products Duty is set out in section 1 of the Tobacco Products Duty Act 1979. As oral snuff is not for smoking, the only product type that comes close is chewing tobacco which is included through section 1(1)(e). The meaning of chewing tobacco in relation to the act is further described in The Tobacco Products (Descriptions of Products) Order 2003. Section 8 of the order describes chewing tobacco as a tobacco product which doesn’t come under any of the other descriptions and has been prepared so that it can be chewed. The nature of oral snuff would make it impractical to chew and this is not the intention. Therefore oral snuff is not within the scope of Tobacco Products Duty as currently described in UK law.

If you are not willing to take the risk of getting taxed unlawfully (which you could contest), then the cheapest option from within Europe, with taxes payed is schweden-snus.com . It is considerably pricier than tax free, but also considerably cheaper than the northerner or buysnus.

pay 92 pounds in taxes or just not accept the package.

that's huge....

I guess you'd have to pay taxes locally

in Romania they're pretty low..... and I mostly negociated them when I got packs from U.S
