Due to the English Customs and excise we no longer sell Tobacco Molasses.

Apparently molasses shisha tobacco purchased in the UK from shops in London do not have any import duty paid and is illegal in the UK.

Customs & excise state that the tobacco import duty is £71.76 per kilogram which would make a 250 gram pack cost in duty alone £17.94

What is Tobacco Duty?

Properly referred to as Tobacco Products Duty, but more widely known by its shortened name, Tobacco Duty is an excise duty charged on purchases of tobacco products.
The following tobacco-based goods are liable to Tobacco Duty: cigarettes, cigars, hand-rolling tobacco, pipe tobacco and chewing tobacco. Snuff and "herbal" smoking products are not liable to Tobacco Duty, although orally-taken snuff was banned in 1989 under EU law.

The rate of Tobacco Duty is adjusted annually by the Chancellor of the Exchequer as part of the Budget, with changes coming into force that day under the terms of the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act 1968.

With effect from March 2008 the duty rates are:
Cigarettes - an amount equal to 22 per cent of the retail price plus £112.07 per thousand cigarettes; cigars - £163.22 per kilogram; hand-rolling tobacco - £117.32 per kilogram; other smoking tobacco and chewing tobacco - £71.76 per kilogram.

The UK's rate of Tobacco Duty is considerably higher than in most of the rest of Europe and other parts of the world. Since the removal of restrictions on tobacco importation from the EU as part of Single Market reforms, the collapse of the Soviet bloc and the opening up of trade with Eastern Europe and general greater global mobility, significant problems of widespread duty-evasion and large-scale organised smuggling have developed.
