At SnusExpress, we make sure that your personal information is protected. All information you transmit is encrypted. All transactions are sent via an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) secured platform. We use Nets, a highly trusted Scandinavian credit card processor. Consequently, we never receive your card information. This information is known only to you and our bank.

What do CVV and CVC mean?

To help minimize credit card fraud, MasterCard and Visa have added an additional credit card code. This is known as the Card Verification Value or CVV (VISA) and Card Validation Code or CVC (MasterCard). The security code consists of the last 3 digits of the number on the back of your credit card next to your signature.

Check the address you entered when placing your order. Also check the card information you have provided. The credit card number and the CVC (MasterCard) or CVV code (VISA) must be entered continuously and without gaps.
Errors can also be caused by malfunctions on the institutional servers involved. In this case, please try to place your order again a little later, provided that your credit card is not the problem and has no restrictions for international online transactions. If the problem persists, contact your credit card provider for more information.

Yes, you can follow your order.

The tracking number for your shipment will be indicated within your shipping confirmation. You can follow your shipment online either from within your customer account at www.SnusExpress.ch or via the homepage of Swiss Post AG, www.post.ch.

What import regulations, duties, taxes and other fees do I have to observe?

Please note that importing snus into Switzerland incurs import duties, taxes and other charges. All these costs are included in the prices shown on our homepage! So you can order with peace of mind: There are no further costs to you!

In Switzerland, there is a limit for license-free private imports worth CHF 1000, which is equivalent to 2.4 kg of tobacco. Therefore you can only order a maximum of 2.4 kg snus. We do the math for you: as soon as your shopping cart contains 2.4 kg tobacco, you can add more products to your shopping cart, but you have to shorten your order later before paying. At checkout we will suggest the products and the number of cans you need to remove from your order to be within the import limit and complete your order.

If you have any further questions regarding import rules and fees for smokeless tobacco products into Switzerland, please contact our customer service.

Snusexpress.ch assumes no liability for the receipt or whereabouts of shipments that are detained, retained or destroyed by customs.

Why can't I order more snus?

In Switzerland there is an import limit of 1.2 kg of tobacco. For this reason, you can only order a maximum of 1.2 kg snus. We do the arithmetic for you: as soon as your shopping cart contains 1.2 kg of tobacco, you can till add more products to your shopping cart, but you must shorten your order later before payment. In the checkout we suggest you the products and the corresponding number of cans that you must remove from your order so that you are within the import limit and can complete your order.

Is it possible to return the products I ordered from you?

Snus is fresh and a perishable product. Therefore, it can no longer be sold once it has been shipped. For tis reason we cannot accept any product returns. This also applies if you ordered the wrong product, if you changed your mind about the purchase, or if the package is returned due to an incomplete address or if you did not pick it up in time.

Can I cancel my order?

If your order has not entered the shipping process, we can cancel a paid order. If you want to cancel your order, send us a message via the contact link above. We will then see how we can comply with your request.

How can I change my order?

You can change your order if it has not yet entered the shipping process. Since we cannot credit or deduct from your account any amount greater than the amount authorized at the time of ordering, changes with a higher amount cannot be accepted if you paid for your order by credit card.
