Here are links to the FDA Red List if you're interested in reading through all the nitty gritty:

- White Fox (Brand) - Added December 6th, 2024
- XQS (Brand) - Added December 2nd, 2024
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: 12 February 2025
Recently, MaKe WeBo decided to stop shipping to the US. This was a choice the company made, 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. I also created this spreadsheet, which shows you what products are available on which stores.
Stores not shipping to the US (as of 12 February 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 shipping to the US (as of 12 February 2025): Snus24.com (PostNord only), SnusPort.com, MrSnuff.com, SnusRoom.com (use code SNUSROOM15 for 15% off), SwedishProducts.online.
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.
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.
ReplyDeleteAny updates on getting Velos? If we want to take the risk, which companies won't charge you later for customs fees?
ReplyDeletewill sunscentral ship lundgrens nicotine pouches to US?
ReplyDeletePut 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???
