parcel seized by uk customs, am i blacklisted?
 

i just had an order seized by HMRC :doh:,
it wasnt a large order, total value was less than 200dollars, but it was flagged and inspected, and inevitably seized.
i have learnt my lesson dealing with ems, and for the most part i dont sell any vero on my accounts, but i import quite a few things from china for personal use, or for friends and family, all phake items, replica clothes etc, will my address be blacklisted for chinapost and dhl shipments now too? or just for shipments via ems, any help will be appreciated

Your items were seized by HMRC, therefore your address is blacklisted by HMRC.

Customs is customs, doesnt matter who it ships with.

Address is likely to be blacklisted for any shipments - your address is hot right now, cool it off - receive your future packages elsewhere.

Yeah yeah yeah... the old foo-foo for the friends excuses.

No 1 lesson is to never involve your home address for importing of items, even 'safe' items.

Address is blacklisted on the database.
Find a new address, reconsider what gifts you buy for friends

unless they are foo-foo friends

:juggle:

i have about 5-10 small items on the way, literally one piece per package, clothing etc, from various sellers, all for myself, should i kiss them goodbye? the most expensive one was about 25pounds, so the parcels will all be small and marked with very low values, so i am hoping they will slip through, i am holding off on ordering more for now. if they do get seized ill just move on, lesson learnt. i will go about looking for a new address to get things sent to, i think im gonna have to think outside the box on this one

They may come through or may not - only customs knows for sure.

Get a new address for future parcels. Best of luck

Anything that comes through by EMS will be checked , sadly this has only been happeneing since before the Queens jubilee. Before then you could have got away with 0-10kg orders without been checked.

If you have 4 packages seized by customs being shipped with DHL (never happened to me before now) the tracking hasn't updated for the last 10 days. It was CLEARANCE PROCESSING COMPLETE then nothing.

There is a letter RECORDED SIGNED FOR down the PO waiting for me.... will that be a customs letter? Should I sign for it or reject it?

PS. Cannot believe I had an issue with DHL - do not ship more than 2 boxes at one time
