EvansLight Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Ma'sal maybe? Or try one of the other words that mean hookah tobacco. As long as no one at customs knows what that means you would be fine, but if its opened your technically not lying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poro- Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Molasses, Ma'sal, Shisha or some other "weird" word. Avoid anything like "tobacco" or "smoking" You should not lie to customs, but always you can twist the truth. When importing to Finland, it is nice to label shisha as "scenting powder insence" because it has 6.5% of tax, and tobacco has over 70% tax (+ vat of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaia.plateau Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (nicayotte @ Jan 12 2008, 01:53 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>"baby"+1Also shisha is now technically tax-free to ship to Canada... but bureaucracy being what it is there are times when kinks happen and you do get charged (I just had to have some taxes waived on my last order). To save them this potential and hassles, label it molasses. Ma'asal sounds Arabic, and Arabic things get opened.
