EMS always gets checked for me, but I've imported lasers and all kinds of things and they've checked the package but haven't confiscated anything. I always use airmail these days because EMS seems to get delays all the time for me aswell so airmail is about the same timeframe and cheaper!
you can ship the goods from hong kong,and then your goods will be more safe for clear custom,as hong kong have a good reputation.We have sent so many dvds to many countries from there,we never got any problem.So just think about this way
