Prescription Required for Australia

Important update for Australian customers

Australia has become much stricter with nicotine pouch imports. Because of this, all Australian customers must have a valid prescription before placing an order for nicotine pouches.

We can no longer ship nicotine pouch orders to Australia unless the customer has a valid prescription.

Why is a prescription required?

Under Australian law, nicotine pouches are treated as prescription-only nicotine products. This means nicotine pouches cannot be legally imported into Australia without a valid prescription or written authority from an Australian health practitioner.

What you need before ordering

Before placing an order to Australia, please make sure you have:

  • A valid nicotine pouch prescription
  • A digital copy of your prescription
  • The ability to provide the document if UPS, customs, or Australian authorities request it

If your prescription is missing, expired, or not accepted by the authorities, your parcel may be delayed, returned, or seized.

Recommended prescription provider

For Australian customers who need a nicotine pouch prescription, we recommend QuitRx.

Can I order without a prescription?

No. If you are ordering nicotine pouches to Australia, you need a valid prescription.

Orders without the required documentation may not clear customs. Australian customs, UPS, or other authorities may request proof before releasing the shipment.
