Shipping Information

Important Information Regarding Shipments to Canada

All products are shipped from Michigan, USA to Canada using DHL Express Worldwide and generally take approximately one week for delivery depending on how long it takes the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to clear the shipment. 

FAST DELIVERY

Your order will usually be delivered to your door within 5-7 business days. The 1, 2 or 3 days quoted by DHL on our checkout page doesn't account for the time required for the shipment to clear customs which is usually 3-4 business days.

NO IMPORT FEES TO PAY

We will charge you the GST/HST at the time you place your order and submit these taxes to DHL so that you don't have to pay DHL the import taxes prior to customs clearance. We will also pay your brokerage and customs clearance fees for you at a reduced rate and include them in our shipping fees. 

NO PAPERWORK TO FILL OUT

To ensure that you don't have to complete a power of attorney form in order for DHL to clear your shipment through customs for you, we have made special arrangements with DHL so that by placing an order on our site, you will be agreeing to let DHL clear the package for you. 

If DHL contacts you to complete a Power of Attorney form, it is likely because the CBSA agent has asked for an actual POA form to be submitted. While this is rare, it does happen from time to time. The good news is that you can complete a short one-time POA and never have to do it again on future shipments. You can download the one-time / blanket POA form at https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0619/7067/7960/files/Blanket_Power_of_Attorney.pdf?v=1713985414. Please fill it out using your own name where it asks for the corporation name. When completed, email it to brokeragecs.ca@dhl.com with your tracking number in the subject line. As this is a one-time / blanket POA, it can be used to clear all future shipments.

NO DUTIES

All of the Tobacco-Free Nicotine Pouches shipped to Canada contain a maximum of 4mg of nicotine per dose (HS Tariff Code 2404.91.0090), This nicotine content is within the Health Canada approved limit for the importation of oral nicotine replacement therapy products (as defined by the requirements of the Canadian Food and Drug Act and Natural Products Act) and these nicotine pouches were developed specifically for the Canadian market. They are also duty-free under the Canadian European Trade Agreement (CETA) given that the origin of these products is within Europe and that the products do not contain any tobacco. If CBSA erroneously applies tobacco duties to your shipment (which are not supposed to be applied to tobacco-free nicotine pouches), please contact us immediately so that we can resolve the issue on your behalf.

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR PACKAGE IS STUCK IN CUSTOMS CLEARANCE

DHL shipments generally clear customs in 3-4 days, however, if CBSA chooses to physically inspect your shipment, it can take up to 3 weeks for it to clear customs depending on their workload. If you see that your shipment has arrived in Canada yet and has been in customs clearance for more than 4 business days (i.e. you see 5 or more clearance events on the DHL tracking page), please email DHL at brokeragecs.ca@dhl.com to see why the shipment hasn't cleared. If there is an issue, please email us at sales@nicpouchesdirect.com so that we can take care of it for you.

Customers in Canada do not need to worry about their package being seized by customs or Health Canada, but if this happens, we will re-ship your order at no cost to you or issue a full refund. In the rare event that your package has been referred to Health Canada for review by CBSA, don’t worry as it will be released for delivery after review, however, we have seen it take over 2 months for Health Canada to review an incoming shipment. Thankfully, when shipping with DHL, this is a very rare occurrence. If this does happen, please contact us so that we can get another shipment out to you while your current shipment awaits release.
