Legal Compliance

Snusau inc, is committed to maintaining the highest standards of regulatory compliance in every jurisdiction where our products are supplied. All products offered for sale on Snusau are exported from the United Kingdom and comply fully with all applicable laws and regulations of the UK. In addition, Snusau inc, ensures that these products adhere to the relevant legal and regulatory frameworks of the international markets to which they are shipped. This Legal Compliance Statement outlines the measures we have implemented to guarantee compliance with applicable laws regarding the sale, supply, importation, and advertising of nicotine pouch products worldwide.

1. Compliance with Australian Law (Therapeutic Goods Administration)

Under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989, nicotine pouches are classified as prescription-only medicines in Australia.

Our Commitments:

  • Personal Importation Scheme (PIS): We operate strictly within the parameters of the PIS, which permits Australian residents to import nicotine pouches for personal use, subject to the following conditions:
    1. Customers must hold a valid prescription from an Australian-registered General Practitioner prior to an order being placed.
    2. Customers are strictly limited to importing no more than a three-month supply per shipment and must not exceed a total of 15 months’ supply within any 12-month period under any circumstances.
    3. Products are for personal use only and must not be resold or distributed.
    4. Shipments are labelled in accordance with TGA and Australian Border Force (ABF) requirements as “prescription medicine – personal use.”
    5. Prescription Verification: Orders will not be released for dispatch unless it has been verified that the customer holds a valid Australian prescription.
    6. Advertising Restrictions: Snusau does not engage in direct or indirect advertising of nicotine pouches to Australian residents. All information provided is factual and educational, without promotional content, in line with TGA advertising guidelines.
    7. Age Restriction: Access to our website is gated to users aged 18 years or older.

2. Compliance with New Zealand Law (Medsafe & Smokefree Environments Act)

In New Zealand, oral nicotine products are regulated under the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990.

Our Commitments:

  • For customers in New Zealand, only nicotine pouches containing tobacco-derived nicotine are supplied; synthetic nicotine products are not offered under any circumstances.
  • Orders are strictly limited to personal use; the sale or distribution of nicotine pouches within New Zealand is prohibited without prior authorisation from the Ministry of Health.
  • Customs Declarations: Packages are clearly declared as “smokeless tobacco – personal use” with accurate ingredient disclosure to NZ Customs.
  • Age Restriction: Customers must confirm they are 18 years or older before completing checkout.

3. Compliance with European Union and European Economic Area Law

Nicotine pouches are regulated differently across EU/EEA member states. Some countries allow their sale with restrictions, while others impose bans.

Our Commitments:

  • Country-specific Restrictions: We actively monitor and apply restrictions in countries where nicotine pouch importation is prohibited.
  • Labelling and Packaging: Where permitted, we ensure compliance with the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) and relevant local packaging and labelling requirements.
  • Advertising Restrictions: Promotional content directed at EU/EEA customers is only provided where it fully complies with all applicable national laws and regulations.
  • Age Verification: Orders are processed only after age verification to confirm customers are over 18 years of age.

4. Compliance with United Kingdom Law

Following Brexit, the UK regulates nicotine pouches under its own framework.

Our Commitments:

  • General Compliance: All shipments and product information are aligned with the UK Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016, where applicable, to ensure full regulatory adherence.
  • Personal Use Declarations: Shipments to the UK are clearly marked for personal use.
  • Age Restriction: Our systems prevent sales to individuals under 18 years of age.

Nicotine pouches are classified under Canada’s Tobacco and Vaping Products Act (TVPA).

Our Commitments:

  • Ingredient Disclosure: Product contents are fully declared to ensure compliance with Canadian customs.
  • Personal Import Only: We do not support commercial resale within Canada.
  • Age Restriction: Only customers 18 years and older may place orders.

Each jurisdiction in Asia-Pacific has unique requirements for nicotine pouch importation.
