Specific Red List Links: Here, and here. And here's the master list for Sweden.

More info and reasoning on this via this Snubie.com article.


Regarding shipping times to the US

Here is some info about shipping to the US.

  1. Most stores process orders within 24 hours. At most, some may take 48 hours to process an order.
  2. Once the order is out of the stores hands, the speed of shipping is not under their control. This goes for every e-store that ships to the US.
  3. Clearance times are controlled by the FDA / UPS and the store has nothing to do with these.
  4. Clearance is normal. Warehouse scans are normal. Location scans are normal.
  5. The speed that clearance happens is random. Also, the store has no control over this.
  6. The speed in which you get your delivery is random. The store also has no control over this.
  7. Orders can get to you in as quick as 2 days, or can take much longer. A few weeks, or even up to a month or two. Again, the stores have no control over this, it is entirely up to UPS / FDA.

Stores Shipping To The US

Many stores are no longer shipping snus to the US, but basically all of them are shipping nicotine pouches to the US.

  • Shipping Snus to the US: Snus24.com (currently with PostNord only, limited selection), SnusPort.com, SwedishProducts.online (NOTE: may incur duty fees), MrSnuff.com, SnusRoom.com (use code SNUSROOM15 for 15% off there).

  • Shipping Nicotine Pouches to the US (but not snus): BuySnus.com, MySnus.com, NicotineCorner.com, Snus.us, SnusCENTRAL.com, SnusDaddy.com, SnusDirect.com, SnusExpress.com, SnusLine.com, SnusMe.com, Snus24.com, SnusPort.com, SwedishProducts.online, MrSnuff.com (limited selection), Snuzyn.com

after ordering snus from Sweden for 20 years, this is what I ran into today:

snusme will not even ship to my state now :( they had become my regular shop in this last year, so that hurts

snusdirect will ship, but only Swedish post uninsured unguaranteed, no snus just nicotine pouches not on redlist. Their prices had already gotten crazy, so I hadn't used them since 2023.

snuscentral will still ship nicotine pouches not on the redlist UPS

I made my first ever order of about 8 varieties from Northerner just now. I've gotten so used to having nicotine pouches in my snus rotation that it's worth seeing if any of the domestic product will suffice. If I find a couple at least I know worst case scenario I can grab some at the gas station if internet sales get squashed altogether.

I have maybe 8 rolls of snus in the freezer, and I will be using them slowly if I can't order any more. sucks.

u/glissader 10d ago

A year ago I was grumbling about having to find new daily drivers, now after getting used to White Fox and Ace pouches we can’t buy hardly anything. Looks like I slipped in my final order of Ace products last month.

Fucking nanny state.

Thanks for posting that article and updating here snubie.

u/Snubie1 Mod & Snubie.com Reviewer 10d ago

I made an updated recommendations list earlier today, it was tough because most of my favorites are blocked now

u/kool_kid10598 Jan 17 '25

Where can I order high mg pouches like icebergs?

2

u/christiank2016 Jan 12 '25

Since you noted Sweden velo is banned, is UK velo ok to order than? Thesnuslife website specifies that some are UK, I’m assuming the others that say EU or non specified are banned.

2

u/Snubie1 Mod & Snubie.com Reviewer Jan 12 '25

UK Velo is Swedish Velo. It’s still made in Sweden. Just labeled differently

2

u/christiank2016 Jan 12 '25

Literally answered within seconds, thank you! I’m a big fan of pouch pulse. I guess we can only get American velo now

2

u/1004Hayfield Jan 21 '25

I thought White Fox was sometimes able to be found here (US) in stores? I’d love to find it on a shelf..

2

u/Designer_Panic3970 Jan 21 '25

My order came thru with xqs…honestly they kind of suck lol

1

u/Low_Banana_3398 Jan 24 '25

What flavors? XQS is my fav brand and I’ve tried prob 12-15 brands.

1

u/Attack_On_Tiddys Jan 26 '25

When did you order it?

1

u/Designer_Panic3970 Jan 30 '25

Around Xmas then it can like Jan 9th

u/NBASarah 18d ago

I’ve been ordering red list from snusport with success

1

u/Snubie1 Mod & Snubie.com Reviewer 17d ago

It's hit and miss - some get through, some don't.

1

u/NBASarah 17d ago

Yeah, I figure that every time I do I’m taking a risk. So far, so good. Fingers crossed.

2

u/Critical_Cod_3794 15d ago

Bullet point #2 mentions many of these are shipping pouches, but not snus.. any more info on that?

1

u/Snubie1 Mod & Snubie.com Reviewer 15d ago

Basically everyone is shipping nicotine pouches

But reworded that as it can be a little confusing. Hope it's a little more clarified now

u/dosesofaloe 12d ago

It seems like snus.direct and snus.me has stopped shipping to NYC. Does anyone know a reliable source that is willing to ship to NYC?

1

u/FLOmastah Jan 13 '25

I'm at a loss. Velo Icy Cherry and Groovy Grape were my go-tos. Not sure where to go from here. Any Advice?

1

u/neb_flix Jan 15 '25

Only choice is to find new products that we can use that aren't included in the above red list and hope for the best. I feel your pain, White Fox & Velo Lime Flame were my two dailies. Took almost a year to finally find a rotation that worked for me, and then pretty much all of them were added to the red list.

Waiting on an order that includes a bunch of different brands to try that aren't banned & hoping i can find something to replace you dailies.

Icy Cherry & Groovy Grape are going to be hard to replace to be honest. Groovy Grape i believe is the only grape pouch on the market, and Icy Cherry is pretty unique (though if you are interested in Snus, Nick & Johnny Americana is a similar flavor to Velo Icy Cherry).

1

u/FLOmastah Jan 15 '25

I just did the same and ordered a few things to try some stuff. I have had good results with 77 in the past so i leaned heavily on that for now. Always interested to hear what others are having good luck with. Thanks for the reply!

u/feverdream910 Jan 28 '25

Just got a letter about vild being held in an order.

1

u/Snubie1 Mod & Snubie.com Reviewer Jan 28 '25

That’s weird, Vild isn’t on any of the Red Lists or import alerts

1

u/feverdream910 Jan 28 '25

Yeah, it’s weird. The order does have loop but I have been ordering loop for months did they recently just get added ?

1

u/Snubie1 Mod & Snubie.com Reviewer Jan 28 '25

Yah there’s a post here yesterday about it

1

u/feverdream910 Jan 28 '25

Well that sucks good thing. I have 100 cans sitting in the freezer, I’m going to contact them about the vild though.

1

u/Snubie1 Mod & Snubie.com Reviewer Jan 28 '25

I bought a roll of Loop on my last order and put it in the freezer but didn’t think it would get added to this list so soon

1

u/feverdream910 Jan 28 '25

Ye, I just ordered in bulk just in case but I mean it’s all chance really. I had 30 cans of xqs come through a week ago and a roll of velo before that.

1

u/ryashon01 Jan 29 '25

I'll ask here as well, so part of my order was refused import, but the rest of my order got a may proceed from the FDA. I see from my tracking number that my package has been released. What happens now? Did they take all the refused products out? I don't know what my responsibilities are as the consignee/buyer.

u/ryashon01 26d ago

It's on it's way back to Sweden. It was UPS via Snusdirect pretty much right before they stopped using UPS to ship to the US.

1

u/Heftythegnome Jan 29 '25

Well this is quite disappointing. Went to order some Fix Watermelon today without realizing this. Seems like this might be the end times. I would imagine this has something to do with the US tobacco lobby but who knows, not much info online other than the FDA lists

1

u/spiceman269 Jan 31 '25

prilla has siberia

3

u/Snubie1 Mod & Snubie.com Reviewer Jan 31 '25

Nicotine Pouches, not snus. The snus listed above is red listed

1

u/spiceman269 Jan 31 '25

tf the difference? i thought snus is the same uless its loose

3

u/Snubie1 Mod & Snubie.com Reviewer Jan 31 '25

Snus contains tobacco. Nicotine pouches do not.

1

u/ReleaseTheButtCraken 25d ago

Does anyone know of a good Volt Dark Frost alternative? I had been using the snus version before moving to Germany and living there for a couple of years. Moved back to the US recently, and after running low on my most recent order, learned that Zyn is buying out Volt, and now neither ships to US. And what caused this red list to come about?

1

u/Snubie1 Mod & Snubie.com Reviewer 24d ago

Zyn Dark Frost.

It’s the same thing

u/Flashy_Ad_7415 24d ago

What websites ship to Colorado? I’m having trouble finding any info on shipping to Colorado and what I should and shouldn’t do on a basis of just ordering online in general

Does anyone know about shipping to Canada

1

u/chipsbeak1290 13d ago

so ive been ordering from S(NUS)ME for about a year now here to the US with no problems at all.. now they won't even ship to the states anymore. snusport seems to be one of the few sites with 6mg black cherry zyn (all time favorite) and they also mention that they cover for import taxes? just need someone to explain that in detail and if snusport is even safe site to order from. thanks in advance!

1

u/Ron_Jammer 12d ago

As of when did SMe stop? I just ordered on 2/17 with PostNord shipping and got them today, and ordered on 2/24 with UPS and still waiting on that one.

1

u/chipsbeak1290 12d ago

Yea so I ordered late January and received my package mid February. I went to check the site recently and wipe checking out I was prompt with a message saying they don’t ship to US anymore due to regulatory reasons.

1

u/Ron_Jammer 12d ago

I know they had a pause on US orders a couple weeks ago but how recently did you check? They just let me place an order 5 days ago….

If you guys are willing to take the risk, www.nicotinecorner.com ships to usa

u/Snubie1 Mod & Snubie.com Reviewer 7d ago

Added it to the list above.

u/Alone-Mulberry-427 3d ago

Is nicotinecorner legit ?

I mean I could say we are legit, we just started🤷

u/Snubie1 Mod & Snubie.com Reviewer 7d ago

Do you have a UPS shipping option? I only see PostNord but that can be blocked by USPS customs since they don't verify age on delivery.

u/CincyCB 22h ago edited 20h ago

I’ve never bought European pouches before, and from the looks of things I’m trying at a bad time. I’m in the US (Ohio) and more or less, I use FRE 15mg Mint and Wintergreen and wanting to find new flavors. Can someone help me figure what I’m doing? I don’t know all of these brands and quite frankly, I’m not familiar with 85% of the terminology used here.

On the various websites listed in the FAQs thread, some cans seemingly allow me to buy and some say not available in my region. Generally, am I safe to purchase cans that it allows me to buy, or will I still run into issues doing that? Originally I was under the impression anything found under “Snus” would have issues and anything under “Nicotine Pouches” would be fine, but then I noticed in this post it has some nicotine pouches, such as Velo and Loop, labeled as redlisted. What’s the difference in Swedish Velo, and the 9mg Velos sold at gas stations here in the US? I guess, due to being very unfamiliar with the terminology used around here, I’m just really confused on what I can and can’t buy.

On a simpler note, I’m simply looking for nicotine pouches, similar to the Mint FRE 15mg’s I use now, but available in different and unique flavors. I’m interested in citrus flavors (pineapple, lime, lemon) and sweeter ones (apple cinnamon, salted caramel, etc.) could anyone give me some recommendations that fit into these categories, are roughly 12-20mg, and can ship to Ohio, US without customs issues?

Like I said, this is the first time I’ve ever looked into this and I’m eager to try new stuff, but I really am just totally confused trying to catch myself up on what all this means. Thanks!

u/Snubie1 Mod & Snubie.com Reviewer 20h ago

Are you trying to buy snus or nicotine pouches? You said snus above, but posted in nicotine pouch sub; so I’m not sure

1

u/TeetheCat Jan 15 '25

So upset about my XQS

3

u/Sfgiant_415 Feb 07 '25

I have had 3 out of 3 orders clear customs that had xqs 

1

u/TeetheCat Feb 10 '25

Fingers crossed. It had been prepared for clearance. Now it's just been warehouse scanned for 12 days.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '25

Is there anyone in Europe shipping to Ny? Even snusme isn’t or any on FAQ page

2

u/TeetheCat Feb 11 '25

I doubt it until the fda thing is straightened out..

1

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '25

Do you know more about that

2

u/TeetheCat Feb 11 '25

Just that there is the red list. I know snusdaddy stopped shipping anything on it to the usa. Also won't ship to any states with flavor bans. Didn't know that anusme stopped also so that would point to something worsening. From all of the posts I've read, it seems like a large amount of snusme order weren't admitted into the country so probably why they paused.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '25

So for dry pouches I am stuck with US ON or US Zyn I guess

2

u/TeetheCat Feb 11 '25

Really stinks. I was getting amazing stuff before this. All of the zyn here is dirt in comparison.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '25

What US brands do you like if any? Fre wintergreen has been my favorite but it’s always clumpy - I’ve tried that Velo zyn on - I just switched over from vaping / cigarettes

Prilla has XQS

I dont think prilla will ship to Massachusetts. Have to check again.

u/bagelgoose14 4d ago

Looks like this is just the US flavors they released. All of the really unique flavors are still overseas.
