GB voted to leave the EU - ordering snuff after that?

As Great Britain voted to leave the EU, I’m afraid this will have impact on ordering from Mr. Snuff for me. Packages coming from the EU don’t get opened and checked here in Slovenia (since we’re in the EU as well) so there’s no tax or fees. I guess I’ll have to start ordering from Snuffstore.de, it’s just a matter of time. Has anyone else though of this problem?

Nothing will change for a good while. The mechanism for getting out won’t be started till we have a new Prime Minister. After that happens, there will be a long protracted set of withdrawal notifications before we actually leave. Everything will remain exactly the way it is for you buying snuff for a couple of years. After that, it may well be that nothing changes anyway, depending on how negotiations go, and depending on how both the UK and EU decide they want their relationship to continue. You have two years of safe snuff purchase ahead of you, and possibly many years thereafter

I’m taking advantage of the drop in the pound to re-stock my snuff before the markets correct.

@Roderick after Great Britain leave of EU, unless they remain (somehow) inside “free trade zone” ordering tobacco products will almost impossible due bloody laws, cause its not allowed to import any tobbaco products outside EU unless its package between private individuals. You shall declare you have not payed for tobacco (must be a gift with weight less than 50 grams). In my country is not allowed to pay duty on imported leaf product, package must be returned to sender or destroyed. Jack
