robotmonkeybrain Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hi Guys/Gals, I'm trying to find out if I can buy shisha tobacco online (and get it delivered to the UK), hopefully cheaper than the local shop. Searching around I've found a few vendor sites that seem out of date or dubious. Also, what's the situation with customs? Is tobacco a special item that attracts higher tax? Will I have to pay extra tax if I order from outside the EU? (Eg UAE) From http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/budget2012/tiin-0730.pdf I see other smoking tobacco and chewing tobacco: £91.81 per kilogram. Ouch. Is that what gets applied? Plus VAT? Anyway, can anyone recommend UK sites or sites that regularly supply to the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Just a forewarning: http://www.hookahforum.com/forum-16/announcement-12-shipping-to-countries-with-tarrifs-or-restrictions/ But yeah, order internationally at your own risk, and please don't discuss ways to circumvent your country's taxes on the forum. Thanks. UK members may chime in with the best places to order from, or other options that are available to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robotmonkeybrain Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 please don't discuss ways to circumvent your country's taxes on the forum. Thanks. That wasn't my intention, I just wanted to be clear on what the costs actually were when buying from overseas. What kind of tobacco are you looking for? Al Fakher or Starbuzz I guess. I'm a noob though so don't have any real preference other than what I've read. I don't know what the stuff is from the local shop. It's in tupperware!

Chreees Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Didn't mean to harp on ya or anything, just that we often have folks sign up just to discuss how to dodge taxes. Hence why I said forewarning. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
