Wholesale & Bulk Shisha Tobacco for Jordan

Global Shisha Tobacco is a Pakistan-based manufacturer and distributor of shisha and hookah tobacco. We supply wholesale and bulk quantities to importers, wholesalers, distributors and tobacco manufacturers, and goods ship from Pakistan to the buyer's destination port or warehouse. A buyer in Jordan sends a destination, quantity and specification, and the sales team replies with a written commercial quotation that states price, shipping term and lead time. Nothing is priced automatically, and no order is accepted until the quotation is confirmed in writing.

Jordan has its own rules on tax, packaging and who may import tobacco, so we check the destination first. The sections below set those rules out from official sources, so a buyer reaches the quotation stage with the right questions already answered. Request a quotation for Jordan when you are ready.

Every quotation for Jordan states the same fields, so offers can be compared like for like.

• Tobacco type and cut: shisha tobacco, hookah tobacco or Virginia leaf, and fine, medium or coarse cut. See the specification sheet guide.
• Moisture, nicotine and sugar: stated as ranges and agreed in writing.
• Packing: retail packs, master cartons, bulk drums, palletised goods or full containers. For retail supply into Jordan, pack size and labelling must follow the rules above, so confirm them before packing is specified.
• Shipping term: FOB, CIF, CFR or EXW. DDP is rarely practical for regulated tobacco; see choosing an Incoterm.
• Documents: commercial documents agreed for each shipment against a checklist. See documentation and the export process.
• Customs classification: waterpipe tobacco is classified under HS 2403.11. See the HS code guide.

Global Shisha Tobacco is a Pakistan-based manufacturer and distributor of shisha, hookah and Virginia tobacco for shisha. We supply importers, distributors, wholesalers and manufacturers in Jordan, shipping from Pakistan against a written specification and a written quotation. This section explains, step by step, how a business in Jordan orders wholesale and bulk shisha tobacco from us, what to prepare before you ask and what to expect back.

1. Tell us you are importing into Jordan. Give your company, your licence or registration and the port or city. Confirm the competent authority for tobacco imports in Jordan before you order.
2. Define the specification. Product type, cut, moisture, nicotine and sugar ranges and the flavour list, with the packaging Jordan requires built in (Tax and labelling for waterpipe: No primary source for the waterpipe rate or pack rules has been confirmed on this page).
3. State quantity and port. For Jordan, the main container ports are Aqaba. Name the port you want and whether you need delivery beyond the port.
4. Receive a written quotation. Price, shipping term, lead time, payment terms and the document list, stated for Jordan.
5. Agree the documents. The export documents we prepare and the permits, certificates or markings that Jordan requires of the importer.
6. Order and dispatch. You confirm the quotation in writing and pay as agreed; we produce, pack, check and ship from Pakistan against the confirmed terms.

You can start now with the quote form for Jordan, or read on for the detail.

Start from the table below and replace the entries with your own targets. It is pre-filled with the rules from our sourced guide for Jordan, so the packaging requirements are in the specification from day one.

The specification sheet guide explains every field.

The price on a quotation is only the start. In Jordan, tax and compliance can matter more than the product price, so calculate landed cost before you compare suppliers.

Rates change, so we do not quote tax figures as fixed here; check the dated figures in the sourced sections of this guide and confirm with a customs broker. The import guide includes a full worksheet.

Currency. The local currency in Jordan is the Jordanian dinar (JOD). Quotations state the currency of the price. Many cross-border tobacco orders are priced in a major international currency, so discuss early which currency you want to pay in, how long the price is held and who bears exchange-rate movement. Your bank's rules on foreign payments, and any currency controls in Jordan, apply to your side of the transaction.

Language. Packs sold in Jordan generally carry health warnings and required information in the official language or languages (Arabic); confirm the exact requirement and format with the authority, because it fixes the artwork before production. Commercial documents are normally prepared in English, and your broker may need translations for the customs declaration.

Where buyers are based. Importers, distributors and lounge groups in Jordan are most often found in and around Amman and Aqaba. If you serve more than one city, say so in your enquiry, because delivery points, storage and the inland leg affect the shipping term you choose.

• Ordering before checking Jordan's rules on pack size, warnings and stamps.
• Comparing quotations on different shipping terms.
• Forgetting duty, excise and local charges when comparing prices.
• Assuming the licence for finished product covers raw leaf or base in Jordan.
• Over-ordering slow flavours instead of starting with a core range.
• Leaving the first order's documents to the last week.

Most can be avoided by completing the checklist in this guide before you ask for a quotation.

A sensible first order for Jordan is one you can sell, store and fund the duty for. Work backwards from the date you need the goods.

1. Confirm your licence and the packaging rules.
2. Write the specification and approve a sample if one can be supplied.
3. Receive and compare written quotations on the same shipping term.
4. Confirm the order in writing and pay as agreed.
5. Allow for production, pre-shipment checks and loading.
6. Allow for the sea voyage and customs clearance in Jordan.
7. Receive, inspect and store; record lots and dates.

We do not publish fixed times here, because lead time depends on the product, the quantity and whether goods are in stock; the written quotation states it. Ask for a lead time in writing and plan the rest around it. See how we work.

Our guide for Jordan is deliberately cautious. We found general principles and a technical standard but no primary source for the tax and labelling rules that apply specifically to waterpipe tobacco, so this page is marked not indexed and does not quote rates. For a buyer, the right response is to confirm the rules directly before any order, and to build the answers into the specification.

Questions to put to the authorities

1. Which authority licenses tobacco importers? Confirm the ministry or agency and what registration is required for a business that imports waterpipe tobacco.
2. Which tax applies to waterpipe tobacco, how is it calculated and who pays it at import?
3. What must the retail pack carry? Language, health warnings, pack size and any tax mark.
4. Does a product standard apply? Ask whether a Jordanian standard covers waterpipe tobacco and whether a certificate is needed.
5. Are there restrictions on flavours or additives?
6. Which documents does customs require at Aqaba or at the border?
7. Does your premises need approval for storage?

How to record the answers

Write each answer down with the date and the name of the office, and keep any reply in writing. Use the answers to complete the specification and the document list, then send them with your enquiry through the quote form for Jordan. We will tell you whether and how an order can be supported.

Why we do not quote figures

Tax rates and labelling rules are specific and change. Quoting figures that we cannot source from a primary document would mislead you. If you can send us the relevant official text, we will review it and, where it is reliable, add it to this guide.

Meanwhile: what you can plan

You can still plan the commercial parts of an order: your specification, quantity, preferred shipping term to Aqaba, payment approach and storage in a hot climate. The specification sheet guide, the Incoterm guide and the import guide help with each.

• Have a Jordanian broker or the JFDA confirm the current tax and labelling rules for waterpipe tobacco.
• Use HS 2403 11 on documents and keep the description consistent with the specification (HS code guide).
• Choose the Incoterm with tax and duty in mind (choosing an Incoterm).

This guide is prepared by the Global Shisha Tobacco commercial team from the 2 official and primary sources listed at the end of the page, and was last reviewed on 30 September 2026. Tax rates, deadlines and labelling rules change, so each figure is dated and linked to its source. It describes the rules for trade buyers and is not legal, tax or customs advice: confirm with the competent authority or a licensed customs broker before you order.

If you find a figure that is out of date, tell us and we will check it against the source and correct the page.
