US Tariffs Are Here - No Stress Your Pouches Are Still Cheaper Online

What’s Actually Happening?

• Effective date: August 29, 2025
• Who’s affected: EU-made nicotine pouches & snus shipped to the US
• Tariff rate: 15% on the declared value of your order
• Heads up: Some brands may be on FDA “import alert,” which can delay or block imports (we keep tabs on this daily).

How the Tariff Hits Your Order (in Plain English)

Order from Europe → US Customs adds 15% based on the value → Your courier (UPS/FedEx/DHL) usually collects it before delivery.

And yes, there can be extra courier fees (duty/brokerage). Not fun, not shocking—we’ll help you plan for it.

Real-World Cost Snapshot

• Average online price (pre-tariff/fees): $4.60 per can
• Average online price (post-tariff/fees): $6.72 per can
• Typical courier duty/brokerage fees: $70–$181 (varies by order size & courier)

Translation: Even after the tariff and courier add-ons, your per-can price still undercuts a lot of US store shelves. Let’s put receipts on it.

Price Comparison (Per Can)

• Average US store price: $8–$11
• Online pre-tariff (EU → US): $4.60
• Online post-tariff/fees (EU → US): $6.72 (example average)

Bottom line: Post-tariff online ≈ $6.72 vs store at $8–$11. That’s a win for your wallet.

Pro Tips for a Smoother Delivery
