I got an envelope from my vendor that was sealed with green custom's tape. In it was a letter that said, essentially, it had contained controlled substances, but that they took them. If I do nothing, they will do nothing (but toss them in 30 days) but that if found trying to import in the future I may face personal prosecution or criminal charges.

How worried should I be?

Thanks.

Not very.  These messages from customs are considered Love Letters or LL's.  In essence, we are notified that are shipment was seized.  It is recommended that you notify the vendor that you received an LL for a few reasons.  One being to let them know that their packaging might not be good enough to get across the border.  The other is so that they may reship the item free of charge.  So don't worry, nobody's going to be knocking at your door.  The majority of us who shop overseas get these letters from time to time.  They're a real bummer, but besides that, they're not even worth the paper they are printed on.

 
Oh, that's what y'all mean by love letters! Still getting used to the lingo around here. Thanks very much.

You pinned that tail on the donkey!

 
this surely eases the minds of me and my loved ones /default_smile.png I'm still in the browsing phase. thanks for the info guys

 
Just remember what you're ordering. Some items have more serious consequences if you're caught. Read as much as you can.

There are some precautions that can be taken to lessen the risks but some risk is always there. If you feel that you are not willing to take the chance then don't.

Luck has a lot to do with this among other factors. Again read more here and try to see how everything fits together. Lots of moving pieces and you just gotta know how to move around to best protect yourself.

 
If you get an item with green tape but all was accounted for, do you think that means they really didn't inspect it? Or just looked the other way? Happened to me recently as well.

 
I had that happen years ago and just assumed it was because it was  non scheduled.

 
I'm reading about gov. forfeitures and there are several pages like this:

Seized on 06/25/2013; At the port of NEW YORK CITY, NY; COUNTERFEIT TOM &

JERRY COLORING BOOK; Valued at $0.00; For violation of 19USC1526(E), 18USC2323, 18USC2320
 
pages of counterfeit coloring books... I couldn't believe my eyes.  Lots of cuban cigars and clothes and very little of what we concern ourselves with here.

  6. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: Set a reasonable limit. Hell fucking make it like buying cold medicine where they swipe your id and you can't get a bunch. But we know this isn't about logic or public safety. It's about money and control.
  7. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: AKA are such a bunch of fucking capitalist traitors. The liquor lobby has a lot of money in this as well.
  8. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: The major plain leaf companies and the AKA are the ones lobbying against 7 and the other semi-sythetic derivatives, mgm this that and the other. We all know the chemist are just gonna mess with the scaffolding of the compounds and come out with new and even better semi-sythetic alkoloids of kratom. They are already playing with cats-claw
  9. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @moai just asked chatgpeetea and it looks like plain leaf kratom is safe, they arent banning it. Just 7-Hydroxymitragynine, MGM15 ,16 , and pseudoindoxyl
  10. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: Wait... @moai they are federally banning plain leaf kratom too???
  11. moai @ moai: @MorphineOrfan how fucking stupid is this shit. We better see some new shit come out, I’m most upset about banning regular kratom because really? Millions of people have got off hard opioids with it. They must want everyone on methadone instead.

  14. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: If bans were done to logic so much of what is illegal now would end up prescription only and I think the powers that be react faster than they think... if they think at all
  15. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: They aren't specifically targeting SR and 7oh
  16. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @RiftChems well sr-17018 is an orphine analogue after all, and they are banning all orphines so that makes sense. Orphines are spiking the OD death rates majorly these past few months.
  17. AlHoffman69 @ AlHoffman69: CANDYMAN ramnemnber thta is will be conme relevenaent soon :alien: :cool: :cool: :cool: 🤑
  18. RiftChems @ RiftChems: crazy they are banning SR17018 at the same time. they know what theyre doing.
  19. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: The ban of 7oh is gonna have a lot of people needing help soon. Assuming they do ban instead of regulate like they should
  20. AlHoffman69 @ AlHoffman69: shout out to all our vets and citizens this is our day of pride love all of ya 🌭
