NOTE: You may notice some of these brands - such as Siberia, Velo, White Fox, and XQS are currently sold in the US. This applies to the products made and labeled in Sweden and imported to the US via an online e-store purchase from Sweden.
What does all this mean?
If you order these products, they may be blocked on import into the US when they go through the clearance process. They may get through, they may not. So it is up to you if you want to take the risk, but some stores may not issue a refund or replace the products. So, order at your own risk if you want to purchase anything on the Red List! I will update this list as new products are added to this list!
US Shipping
Updated: 3 March 2025
Recently, many stores have decided to stop shipping to the US. This is a company by company choice that many are making, not something that is in reflection of any legal changes in the US or concerning the FDA or UPS. In light of that, I wanted to add a section to this article about what stores are, and what stores aren't, shipping to the US.
Stores that ARE shipping snus to the US (as of 9 March 2025): Snus24.com (PostNord only, limited selection), SnusPort.com, MrSnuff.com (only Oden's and Siberia), SnusRoom.com (use code SNUSROOM15 for 15% off), SwedishProducts.online (may incur customs fees).
Stores that ARE NOT shipping snus to the US (as of 9 March 2025): BuySnus.com, MySnus.com, Snus.us, SnusCENTRAL.com, SnusDaddy.com, SnusLine.com, SnusMe.com, SnusDirect.com, SnusExpress.com (many of these are shipping nicotine pouches to the US, but not snus).
Stores that ARE shipping nicotine pouches to the US (as of 9 March 2025): BuySnus.com, MySnus.com, Snus.us, SnusCENTRAL.com, SnusDaddy.com, SnusDirect.com, SnusExpress.com, SnusLine.com, SnusMe.com, Snus24.com, SnusPort.com, SwedishProducts.online, MrSnuff.com (limited selection), Snuzyn.com
If this changes as well, I will also update this list.
Sounds a bit like Canada?
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like it's getting to be that way!
DeleteWithout getting too political, based on the dates of most of these red listings, it seems that this was a big bureaucrat flex by the previous administration on their way out the door, based on some of the other ways they tried to undermine the incoming admin. So, it's gonna take some time to get more discerning people in these positions to clean up the mess.
Delete@Anonymous, regarding the bureaucratic flex of the previous administration. Generally, we don't have anyone in government that is pro harm-reduction. Both parties are pretty anti tobacco. I think the current one may be more friendly to nicotine, but I doubt we will ever have anyone that is friendly to tobacco in power, sadly.
DeleteI’d would agree but everyone saw rfk jr pop one on the hearing they just had. So I think he’s into it for sure and I bet he’s not using dry minis
DeleteApparently, prilla is one of the few selling Siberia, the all white stuff, that you can still get online, if you go to snuscentral, looking for Siberia or white fox, you get re directed to prilla.(if you are trying to get them in the US). Unfortunately, they don't offer any snus, just nic pouches or all white Siberia, etc. Reckon it's better than nothing but I will miss Odens... One day soon I suspect other than general, all snus will be red listed..hope I am wrong...
ReplyDeleteYeah, and US domestic stores are super restricted on where they can ship to. And they only sell nicotine pouches.
DeleteThank you for providing some background on this situation. I enjoyed the Epok, Lyft, Velo licorice product for several years. Are the any recommendations for a comparable substitute that can be imported or purchased in the USA?
ReplyDeleteA lot of them are blacklisted, sadly. Fumi is a decent one, they make a licorice product.
DeleteAny updates? I’m an avid Odens fan. Never had a problem until now.
ReplyDeleteThis article is constantly updated, just keep an eye on it!
DeleteIs there any hope of these being removed from the Red List? I've been ordering Velo/Lyft strong slim all white for years ($4/can) now I can only buy Velo Plus Citrus in stores in the US for $10/can and the pouches are dry like US Zyn. This is a nightmare
ReplyDeleteSadly no one has any clue what is coming next.
DeleteI just noticed at TheRoyalSnus.com "All orders to the United States are sent as DDP - Delivery & Duty paid." Maybe this means no $50 Bill from UPS a week later for clearing an order that cost a lot less. Please keep up the great reviews and info!!
ReplyDeleteThey don't seem to be shipping to the US from what I see on their site.
DeleteVery maddening. Snus is the only thing that has kept me off the cigs.
ReplyDeleteThankfully snus isn't gone, it's just more challenging.
DeleteDoes the clearance time seem to take longer now for you also, with the recent changes? I’m used to my packages clearing quickly, my most recent order (with nothing on the red list) appears to be stuck at clearance in PA. Thanks
ReplyDeleteClearance has been taking a while since Fall of 2024. It's the new normal!
DeleteGlad to say that as of 2/19/25 my order placed 1/21/25 has cleared customs and is finally headed my way. For anyone reading this, the order was placed through SnusMe and shipped via UPS. I did not order anything on the red list even though it SnusMe would’ve let me, I would’ve ordered a couple rolls of Göteborgs Rapé. Gonna miss that one a lot.
DeleteSo Goteborgs Prima Fint is still ok?
ReplyDeleteNope. Sadly.
DeleteI used snusme and my package, none of which are listed as red lined products, has taken two weeks and still has not left the ups facility it arrived at several days ago. However. I can say for anyone wanting Whitefox and or Siberia All white, prilla is working out pretty good, I received a order from prilla in under a week..
ReplyDeletePrilla is based in the US. So they're quicker.
DeletePrilla is based in the US, they ship faster.
DeleteAny updates on this? Okay with only ordering Zyns importing from Sweden to US, but I place $500 orders at a time, and don’t want to risk being robbed :/
ReplyDeleteEvery time there is an update, this article is updated.
DeleteAdd Lundgrens Skane White to this list. It is the sole reason my recent Snus24 order has been held by the FDA...
ReplyDeleteSkane White is not on the Red List, so if a store is not shipping it, it is because they chose to do so.
DeleteThanks for the updates Snubie. I have an order I put in for Odens on snusme.com, it’s shipped but fingers crossed. I see they have joined the list as well. Perhaps they are having too many shipments denied delivery? Hope this clears up soon.
ReplyDeleteI used snusme over the weekend, but postnord is the only shipping option, and they may have stopped that as well. I do not have a lot of hope of ever getting the order based on what their customer service said. But at the time I figured it was worth a try.
ReplyDeleteApparently snus24 is no more, USA no longer listed as an option.
ReplyDeleteOh snap!
DeleteAny updates on getting Velos? If we want to take the risk, which companies won't charge you later for customs fees?
ReplyDeleteNope it's red listed. If you risk it, you may get them, you may not.
Deletewill sunscentral ship lundgrens nicotine pouches to US?
ReplyDeleteNot sure, you can check and try there.
DeletePut in a 30 can order with SwedishProducts.com (kapten, Knox, and something called General Voyage Brooklyn). All portioned. Says it left Sweden yesterday and we'll see where it ends up. Not in any hurry for it, at least. Keep you posted if anyone's interested. When will this madness end???
ReplyDeleteI ordered from them last week, it should be here Monday. The only downfall is you have to pay customs fees with them before it arrives. Mine was around $80. But, sometimes you have to do it to be able to get snus.
DeleteHow do you pay customs fees? Pay the postman??
ReplyDeleteThe UPS app gives you a notification, you have to pay it on there or on their site
DeleteI never paid any fees other than shipping with an order I made a few weeks back, but I am sure I was fortunate more than anything else. They also knocked on the door instead of leaving at a post office, so that might have helped. Made another order so will see what happens this time...
DeleteMy order from Swedish Products came today. This may be my new go-to vendor for snus. Got a 3-4 month supply now. Maybe all this will get sorted out by then (wishful thinking, I know). On a side note, General Voyage Brooklyn isn't to bad for a white portion, but white will never replace genuine Swedish snus, though. Good luck, guys.
DeleteDid you have to pay customs/duty fees on your order you received from swedish products? I was going to place order but I have no idea what those fees would be? Can you share how much your order was and what the fees were if any thanks
ReplyDeleteSnusroom does not ship to my state. That really sucks. Time to start making my own...
ReplyDeleteMy order was for 3 rolls (30 cans) and came to $98. Had a choice between UPS and PostNord. Chose PostNord (even though it was more expensive) and paid $20 more than UPS, which might have had duty fees included in there. Don't know. Anyway, that was all I paid. No other fees. Didn't even want a signature. Just left it in the mailbox. Was I just lucky? Maybe.
ReplyDeleteSato here. Seems like things are getting grim. Just finished my last can of the Artisan Dark Vanilla (big RIP for me) today, went to go order some new snus and find this out. Rough.
ReplyDeleteOrdered 2 rolls General Loose (original) from snusport for NJ delivery. We'll see if it gets here.
ReplyDeleteUPS or PostNord?
DeleteHi - I’m in NJ too. Wondering if you’re Snus arrived. Would like to order. Thanks!
DeleteJust received 40 cans from SwedishProducts.Online (Ettan, Scruf, Grov). Took 1.5 weeks via PostNord. Second time with SwedishProducts so I don't think the first time was just luck. Slightly different US 'warning' labels. Maybe they're ahead of the curve. PostNord is a bit more expensive (and slower) than UPS but is still easy to track. No complaints.
