Customs Crackdown?

They were seized because they are counterfeit. It's nothing to do with the paperwork.

99.9% of any "branded" goods that are purchased on Aliexpress / Alibaba / DHgate are counterfeit.

Is that my fault as a buyer or the sellers for listing them as Yeti?

Did you really believe you were purchasing the real deal?

Assuming you plead ignorance you'll probably get away with a warning this time. If you get caught again importing Chinese specials then you can expect them to take it further.

[Jbwood003]

Yes safe to say I'm done importing anything name brand. Too much aggravation.

Tell your supplier to wrap the items in metal tinfoil, that reflects xray scans :-)

I am sure that wont look at all suspicious...

Yes, and if you suck on a polo mint after drinking 10 pints of lager you can't get done for drink driving either.

Your fault as buyer trusting your friend the Chinese seller.

Have the school holidays started already?

Dude, that is seriously one of the funniest AND silliest replies I have read.

We are talking real life. HRMC do how to examine incoming cargo.

That is handy to know....



Oh are you being sarcastic?!

I prefer the sucking on a 2 pence piece. No problems with the breathalyser after that.
