Buying Cigarettes online

Why does this seem too good to be true?

Davidoff Classics for <$20/carton...?

Posted by puss'n'boots on Nov-25-2004 05:19:

maybe that price is in american?

also maybe from an american duty free shop they are pretty cheap.

I don't smoke anymore... have no idea - but my roomie does and she says they are expensive here in toronto..

Of course they are American prices, but that's still a really, really good deal.

Marlboros got for about $3 a pack and i've seen cartons of 10 for about 22-24 at school....so this might be ok....unless you might have to pay duty on it if they are coming from the states and then you're screwed

wait until they arrive to your house, costume is gonna 4x that price

Most of these places say in their FAQ that customs limits on imported cigarettes are 200-600 before they tax you depending on the country.

If they still charge you taxes, you can refuse to pay them, then they'll send it back to the vendor which will then repay your money minus the shipping costs (like $6).

I think $6 is worth the investment.

u should buy them if they have a good, legit return policy - in case you did have troubles with customs and what not...

Have fun with customs. BTW your legal exemption for tobacco as of 2001 is ZERO. Thats right! You cant even bring a half used package of cigs with you without potentially being taxed for them.

Gotta love our "free" market eh?

I still have 2 cartons of Marlboro Lights for sale.

10 packs per carton. I'd sell them for $50 a carton.

Cool!

Now you can slowly kill yourself online and bring death right to your door!! Neato!

Better immediate results anyways

Seems like the chances of it getting shipped to my door are zero.

I'll use plan B to get them then.

I will be getting my carton of Davidoffs for $25. I don't want to pay $10/pack for DuMauriers anymore.

Try buying them online. If you don't get them and buy with a credit card file a non-receipt claim and get the $$ back.

Funny, the customs card I filled out this morning said the exact opposite.

Yes, you can bring them across yourself (personal exemption), I don't imagine you can buy them and ship them without paying duties.

Tobacco and alcohol
You can include alcoholic beverages and tobacco products in your 48-hour (CAN$200) or your 7-day (CAN$750) exemption, but not in your 24-hour (CAN$50) exemption. All tobacco products and alcoholic beverages have to accompany you in your hand or checked luggage.

The following conditions apply:

Tobacco products
If you meet the age requirements set by the province or territory where you enter Canada, you can include up to:

- 200 cigarettes;

- 50 cigars or cigarillos;

- 200 tobacco sticks; and

- 200 grams of manufactured tobacco.

However, as of October 1, 2001, if you include cigarettes, tobacco sticks, or loose tobacco in your personal exemption allowance, only a partial exemption will apply. You will have to pay a minimum duty on these products unless they are marked "CANADA-DUTY PAID � DROIT ACQUITT�". You will find Canadian-made products sold at a duty-free shop marked this way. You can speed up your clearance by having your tobacco products available for inspection when you arrive.

If you bring in more than your exemption allowance, you will have to pay regular assessments on the excess amount. These regular assessments can include duties, taxes, and provincial or territorial fees. The customs officers will give an allowance for products that are marked when they calculate the amounts owing.

In other words, unless the tax has already been paid in Canada you have to pay it yourself which means there is no more duty free smokes in Canada. You gotta love our wierd version of "democracy"

when we went to buffalo in october. we told them we got 1 carton of cigs and 1 bottle of booze at the duty free and they didn't say anything.

I bought a few cartons 3 weeks ago and no problems with customs or duty (bought them at the duty-free shop).

Hey RJ, did you buy a few cartons 3 weeks ago and had no problems with customs or duty when you went to the duty-free shop?

just thought I'd keep with the repetitive posts....sort of like doing things in triplicate for the government right?
