twall 1 Posted August 17, 2011 I am in the US. Should I experience a siezure, what should I do? Am I in deep shit? Hasn't happened yet, but you never know. I only order one watch at a time, and usually only one a month (or longer) Do they send you a letter, or a $20,000 surcharge when you pick up the item? I have tried reading up on it, but the legal talk is mind-mushing. I understand you can legally import one counterfiet good to the US a month, but it must be on your person while you're crossing the border. I don't know how it works as far as shipping. I'm pretty sure having it shipped in is illegal. I just don't know HOW illegal....... But, the lawyer was talking about handbags and pens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akira 0 Posted August 17, 2011 You need to search the board, there are plenty of threads about this topic. It all depends where you are located and what your customs airport is. I here some are good some are bad. Also depending on wheight and size of the parcel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waipio Jeff 0 Posted August 17, 2011 I recently received one of the dreaded letters. My plan is just to ignore it and do nothing as my dealer has already sent a replacement that has arrived safely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gottahaverolex 0 Posted August 17, 2011 Never personally had one single problem on the east coast . West coast seems to be where most get seized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted August 17, 2011 if they don't land at DFW or Miami you are pretty safe with EMS or Air mail. Courier is an all together different story though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twall 1 Posted August 17, 2011 DING!! Thanks, dingle. That's what I was after. The search funtion on this forum is about as useful as an asian tracking number. Greg: What, no rebar and nightsticks? Maybe a sniff of teargas? I was expecting more there. Robert: I'd heard Miami is a bitch, and NY is the easiest. Since I live in NY, it would stand to reason I would get my shit through NY. HOWEVER, this IS the USA, and the USPS we're talking about here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted August 17, 2011 Never personally had one single problem on the east coast . West coast seems to be where most get seized. O'Relly...? I'm on West Coast, bought from Robert (Thailand), Mary (China), Lawrence (Malaysia), dozens of watches, not even one problem. Once Custom held my watch for a month, I already got the replacement, then they released the first one. Most of the packages were opened by Custom, and they let it go. And... no, it's not legal to import even one counterfeit in US during a month, or week or year. Just they don't care, unless it's in big quantities and it's visible, that it's for resale.

houndoggie 58 Posted August 17, 2011 Chicago is the easiest and quickest. NYC is safe, but things can stew in customs for awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twall 1 Posted August 17, 2011 NO, I SAY NYC IS THE BEST, MIDWESTERNER! JK. Although it will sit for a month, it'll get through. I have bought a lot of shit from China (just nothing like a rep) and it takes forever, but it always arrives. I'm just waiting for the one time in a million they wake up. My luck, it'll be me.
