Tobacco Pipe australia

Welcome to the forums niko123

I'm pretty sure there are some members around from Australia. I looked up one guy from down under that used to post regularly but he hasn't been on line for about 7 months.
You could try searching the threads with the search word "Australia" and see what comes up. I'm currently living in Mexico City so there's not much I can do for you from here.

Welcome on the Forum Niko,
I don't think you really need to know how Australians do it, since we kinda all do the same

1) check tobacco import regulations (eg: for me in China, it's 500g at a time)

2) decide if you're going to go "on the table" (have a customs declaration, limit yourself to Australia's limitations), or under the table (go over the limitations, don't have customs declarations and risking getting caught). FYI, here, taxes are 100%, if declared. If not declared, same + huge fine.

3) surf on one of the famous retailers websites around: smokingpipes.com (they refuse not to declare), 4noggins.com (they agree not to declare), P&C, ...

4) have them ship internationally. here, for my 500g of tobacco, and depending on tins vs bulk, I pay USD15 - USD 25 shipping. It's still cheaper than buying directly from importers in China. SP.com has several shipping formulas, price depends on service quality. USPS Super Saver International is the cheapest.

5) wait ...

I got your message and I didn't believe my eyes, so I had to do a little digging.
From the Sydney Airport Duty Free Regulations.

Tobacco Products:
If you are aged 18 years or over you can bring 50 cigarettes or 50 grams of cigars or tobacco products duty-free into Australia with you. All tobacco products in accompanied baggage are included in this category, regardless of how or where they were purchased.

50 f*** grams. One tin ... :crazy:

I CANNOT believe this. and I am so sorry for you man. I thought I was in trouble here in China.

Man, you have my sympathy.

It's going to cost you way too much money to import, if you have to buy one tin at a time.

Now, is there any tobacco importer? Australian based blends ?

Wow I didnt know how bad ya'll had it down under

I can't help but wonder if the "national health" aspect has anything to do with the high prices. After all, when "everyone is paying in", your health suddenly becomes everyone's business. Helps justify taxing "unhealthy" products out of existence, IMHO.

It is very nasty indeed.
