I'm looking to about a kilo of Shisha Tobacco flavour from Russia/Ukraine

There's a new brand Dark Leaf which is highly recommended with its flavours

So this is a Russian brand and there's no suppliers in the UK selling this so i was considering ordering online.

This is for my own personal usage.

Would I be able to order that much and what percentage tax would it be?

Oddly enough, I was looking for this info a while back, for my method addiction. The answer to your question is about £251.60 per kilo. Plus a metric ton of paperwork.

Thanks for that

Its looking around £125 for shisha tobacco, which for a premium flavour is about right with the price of the stuff added on.

I know some suppliers give the Molasses liquid separate to lower the weight down thus is less tax per kg
