Day trip to Gothenburg

No restrictions at all. It's only illegal if you buy it in an EU country that is not Sweden (and the legal problems with buying online from Sweden only come from the fact that the EU has ruled that the transaction is deemed to be made in the country of the buyer - not the seller for internet sales)

You could technically send yourself 1000 rolls of snus if you wanted. Laws would only become enforceable if you then sold the snus on in the UK.

What's the laws on posting shed loads back to yourself?

You can only get cheap duty free snus in the airport if you fly to Norway instead ... That is because Norway is outside the EU ... It's a bit odd as snus in regular Norwegian shops is crazily high ... About £9 a can ... But in the airports it's cheaper than the Swedish airports and about the same as Swedish shops.

Also so if anyone's going to Norway ... Ignore the signs telling you that you have a limit of 1 roll of portions or 5 cans of løs - that only applies if you're going to Sweden!

They do sell it at the airport but it's considerably more expensive than in the shops.

So I am making the trip on friday, just to confirm that there is no problem with bringing back a good number of rolls through security in my hand luggage ? Also do they sell snus in the airport and is cheaper than buying it at one of the shops in Gothenburg?

[Skell18]

You can do it no problem, but you can get a 6 months supply into a carry on case no problem so there is no need really.

Just been reading through this thread, and was wondering, if putting a bag in the hold is expensive and hand luggage has limited space, what about posting Snus home to yourself/family/friends.
Has anyone done this, or know anything about doing it.
I`m planning on going to Sweden early next year, coz i`m desperate to try Swedish Match products.

Dog, the lipstick would come out of you went to thto snus cafe, when it's fika time (which is all the time in Sweden) you get a snus with your coffee and it's all a bit crazy, but amazing! The fridge at the one in Stockholm is quite small by comparison but it hold enough!

all the snus gear is what amazed me, you can get pretty much anything you need with general on it! I got a GR jacket last time I was there, which I ended up leaving in a hotel in Berlin, but hey ho lol.

I can only dream

Somebody take a few pics and post them up so we can all see what snus heaven looks like

Go to some of the shops snus2 have, they are great on prizing and have a very big assortment: http://www.snus2.se/om-snus2.html
You also have Nettotobak/Hisingen but they are a bit outside the city: http://www.nettotobak.com/hisingen/h....com/hisingen/

No chance of me putting a bag in the hold, flying with Ryanair putting a bag in the hold more than doubled what I paid for the flight, so its hand luggage only for me!
