Default Customs Seized my order from Hong Kong

What happens next with customs? Will they simple keep/destroy my merchandise order? The order cost me about $2500.00. I've never had one stopped before. Thanks for any advice in advance.

Another VERO experience, who did your supplier shipped with ?,,,Once zeized by customs official your items will be destroyed my best bet. I never purchased phakes, replicas or whatever you like to call it, not part of my niche.

You should change ship to address, carrier and seperate shipments to parts.,,, I hear the smaller pkg, less chance to pass routine a reutine but is all your luck.

You need to see the lesson in the situation: no more ⊗⊗⊗⊗. Be happy customs did not seize your freedom. You may not be as lucky next time.

If it is a branded name type item, just expect it to be a lot more difficult from now on forward. I would try to find a different market as that type of market will cause problems, headaches and legality issues which you do not want.

They will most likely destroy your merchandise order. Expect a letter from them. That is what happened to me in Singapore.

this is a false claim I can assure you this. I got 2 packages seized by customs due to new stupid suppliers. Always use DHL yes never had a problem since. These were seized about a year ago.. I still get 3-6 packages a month without any problems.

They will destroy your package unless you want to fight for it. You will get a letter. Just contact supplier and let them know what happened.

Default What type of branded product was it?

Could you share what the brand is, so we can stay away from it? My supplier says anything going through Los Angeles is more succeptible to this
