    Folks, Anybody know of any good sites one could use to import 50g pouches of Amber Leaf ? Not looking to avoid excise but just to make use of the free trade that exists in the wonderful EU.

    Any sites / experiences would be appreciated.

    Law states you must accompany the goods in person and they must be for personal use only.

    This is only if you want to avoid excise. You can just have the tobacco delivered and pay the excise & VAT on the way in surely.

    Its not really a runner in practise as the Irish excise&vat are so high that combined with the cost of the product in the source country + shipping cost that its cheaper to buy in Ireland.

    The necessary arrangements for payment of the excise duty and VAT (at the standard rate) in the State must be made by the trader who sells and delivers the products. These arrangements include registration for VAT in the State.

    The Purchaser should be satisfied that the trader is compliant, as untaxed products are liable to seizure and confiscation.
