The boss and I were talking the other day about looking into this to get smokes. Not sure if you can or not, we haven't got that far yet, but would be good to get them somewhat cheaper.
Still got to check legalities of this yet, quantities/tax etc. I'm sure he'll let me know if we can or not when he's finished his research.

However, it may all be in vein for me,, picked up some Niquerette (s) spray yesterday so I can start to stop soon. ;)

The thing is, as you become the importer of items, you are then responsible for making sure they meet Australian Standards. Those car mats they had extended under the brake pedal for instance.

I wouldn't muck around with cig laws, they're tight and scarry!

try
aliexpress.com

or if you want something made..

alibaba.com

watch the prices---they can be good or even fantastic BUT watch for postage charges etc ...some try to make a killing there... some items are also put on at huge prices as a "hope and pray" ...

generally if you are a bit aware its a good system... very popular in the UK apparently. (most of these are direct to the manufacturer and so cheaper than they put it on ebay.)
Obviously none of these are selling durries... give it up permanently, it must be easy to do, I have a mate thats done it dozens of times.... Over to you Chops!!! :twisted:

Any tobacco products you bring in will be charged excise and are not part of the less than $1000 threshold.
A client of ours brings in chewing tobacco from the US (disgusting stuff), as you can not buy it here. He pays about 60cents per can in the US. But from memory the excise brings it up to about $12.

Probably cheaper to give up. :)

Good work! Best thing SWMBO ever did... Her voice, skin and hands transformed, and that stale smell vanished forever! She hates the smell of it now too! :D

As for the Chinese site. Interesting one, but Aus is too close to China now!! Its very hard to find products that are not Chinese!.. The 'buy cheep buy twice' saying springs to mind...
