Callez Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hi;I'm going about to make my first order from HC I think, alot of nakhla tobacco and stuff, but was wondering, when sending it to me, will I have to pay extra for taxes and stuff? I know not many ppl here are from Belgium(where I'm located) but people in Europe, when ordering tobacco online, are the taxes high, or do they don't make much difference?Thanks; Callez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayVer Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 hmm I don't think you would have to but check with them first. Email HC or call them and let us know what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callez Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 I e-mailed H-L, got quick and helpfull responses btw, many thanks to mike, but ofcourse, they couldn't give me an estimate on taxe costs... Think I'll send an e-mail to HC to ask them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choose a vendor who is prepared to play the game2. Never order too much shisha at any one time [I limit myself to 750g's]3. PrayJust tonight i have another package that had 500g's of tobacco clear customs and wing it's way to my delivery depot for delivery tomorrow. It can be done - just tread carefully.NOTHING IS GUARANTEED HOWEVER.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahir Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Taxes vary upon country....and typically are only calculated at customs...and they give the receiver the bill.You might have to pay....But, most of us online retailers try and avoid this extra cost....it SHOULD be fine depending on quantity....-Mahir Nazar Hookah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callez Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Looks like I'm going to have to break one of those rules...I was planning on making a rather large, not to say huge order, about 40pakcs of 50gram of nakhla, ordering with me and my buddies and then dividing the cost to make for smaller shipping... but it seems now that this isn't really a good idea...But I'll pray, that's fo sho...anyways; thank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinamon Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 tax rates vary upon country of importation.i live in canada so canada's tobacco taxes would be different than belgium's taxes. you would have to check with your local government.

SafeSearchOff Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I'd say if your getting just nakhla go for a site in the EU. I don't think you'll suffer as much. Taking that much risk for just nakhla... Ehhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they find the package and bust it open and the label said different, you are liable for a fine on top of that. I suggest you take real care. You can also get nahkla in the EU easily enough - It's does not take much effort to find it.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
