US customs seizure letter

Recommended Posts

sugaray

I received one of these 5 page letters saying the item was seized due to it being a counterfeit, gives several options. Willing to abandon the item but not sure if I should fill out the forms to abandon the item for fear of opening up pandoras box and getting sued, fines etc. Has anyone gotten these letters and how did they handle them

Do not respond! Save it for your TD and depending on their policy they may reship for you.

Good advice. If I remember correctly it's like when you sign up something it's like admission of guilt.

 

Just ignore it. And if they approach you on phone say that you haven't ordered a watch but some toys to your kids. Or whatever. What do you have to lose? They already have your rep.

Excellent advice given, pull a John Snow on this one, get in touch with your TD and try to work out a reship. It thats in the T/C's preferably use a different shipping address

I've never had one myself, but it is always at the back of my mind when I think about ordering a rep.

 

I'd follow the advice above - ignore the letter and form and contact the seller.

Also keep in mind that your name and address are now blacklisted. If you are ordering any more reps, be sure to use a different name and address.

Ask the TD what to do, until you have their instructions do nothing

Rare in the US, but just ignore on the govt end and you won't hear from them again. I'm curious to know though, due to the rarity, what port of entry and which carrier?

Is there seriously a 'blacklist'??

I believe if something is seized by customs due to the item being illegal (ie. OP's rep), the name/address of that person gets put on a list for higher scrutiny by customs in the future. It's just better to use a different name/address from that point on

Fair enough, that would make sense in America, 'the land of the free' ;)

 

Here in Blighty, you'll be lucky if they can even find a pen to write your details down lol

I'm sure it's been going on for years and they're just legalising it now! Either way, it's still wrong.

Aye but now it is legal they can use any "evidence" garnered from the snoopers charter against you in a court of law. Won't stop terrorists but means they can "control" the plebs.
