An empty recess in a corridor wall where a vending machine would stand, clean and unoccupied.
Where nicotine vending is prohibited the recess stays empty — unless something that is not nicotine goes in it.

The product

Snus

Prohibited, as in every EU member state other than Sweden.

Nicotine pouches

Prohibited. Since 1 January 2025 nicotine pouches fall under the Tabaks- en rookwarenwet and may no longer be sold. Before that the NVWA had already prohibited pouches containing 0.035 mg of nicotine or more under the Warenwet, following a health assessment with RIVM. The NVWA enforces the sales ban, targeting importers and wholesalers first.

What you may put in a machine here

The prohibitions on this page are written for tobacco and nicotine. They do not reach a pouch that contains neither.

    Snus may not be sold in Netherlands at all.

  • Nicotine pouches

    No

    Nicotine pouches may not be sold in Netherlands at all.

  • Nicotine-free pouches

    Yes

    Neither a tobacco nor a nicotine product, so Netherlands's prohibitions on this page do not apply. Ordinary food and consumer law does.

  • Caffeine & energy pouches

    Yes

    Neither a tobacco nor a nicotine product, so Netherlands's prohibitions on this page do not apply. Ordinary food and consumer law does.

How you may sell it

From a machine

Closed

May it be sold from a machine?

No lawful vending route exists, because the product itself may not be sold.

On display

Closed

May it be shown — shelves, cases, branded coolers?

Moot — the product may not be placed on the market.

We work with suppliers across every pouch format and the machines and coolers that dispense them. What we can offer in Netherlands is set by Netherlands’s own rules, above — not by what we stock.

Nicotine is closed in Netherlands, as the page above sets out. Caffeine and nicotine-free pouches are not nicotine products, so those prohibitions do not reach them — and that is what we can match you with here. We do not sell, install, stock or service equipment ourselves.
