sdad, the taxes go by what state you live in. Here's a chart that shows the tax rates.

Due to the way US State taxes are structured, some brands will be taxed higher than others. The brands we recommend from a taxation standpoint are Gotlandssnus, Jakobsson's, Thunder and Offroad. These brands will only cost our US customers a fraction more than they did before.
I have found that the shipping rates for Northerner/Snus.com/buysnus are less than half those of snuscentral. I recently paid $13.xx for a roll at snus.com. The same order would have cost me $30 to ship from snuscentral.
What's up with these shipping charges???
Thanks for the info. I just started snusing, so I want to try different brands and flavors, etc. These shipping charges kind of make it difficult. You really have to commit to a big order for it to be cost effective.
I've noticed most of the sites tend to have "sampler packs". I guess that would be a good place to start.
Thanks again.
