DVD's Seized by customs...
Hey all, so I got a Title 19 letter in the mail from U.S. Customs for some dvds from asia and I'm a little confused about it. Do I need to fill it out in order to get it abandoned or can I just ignore it? It went through DHL too, I thought they were suppose to be much better, but my supplier use to ship USPS then soon after changing to DHL customs seized two big boxes. I'm not terribly worried about getting them back as I've already worked out a deak with my supplier. My biggest questions are,
Does anything have to be done on my part? Am I going to have to pay penalties for not filing it as abandoned?
And my second question is, does this red flag customs or anything to my address? Is it going to be harder for me to continue getting boxes from Asia under the same address?
And finally, if items get seized again in the future, are the penalties more severe after its already happened before?
Thanks for all your help, kinda scary stuff some times, but with some good advise from the pros on here, I think I can feel at ease.
