Uk customs hold my shipment plz help

[aslam]

My shipment went on clearnce delay on 24 august 2010 and today 15th September 2010 I got a letter from Nintendo solicitor saying that they recieved a letter from Custom UK that they found 400 wii remotes in a shipment which belongs to me.

So on behalf of Wii nintendo GmBH EU and Nintendo US inc he wants me to give the permision to UK custom by writting them a letter and saying that they should destroy the goods. If I didn't give them a notice in 5 working days then The solicitor will put a case against me in civil court and they will continue to fight on this metter and my goods will be held until court will announce the final result.

Plz can any one tell me what should I do? should I write to custom? or should I just disapear as they have only my name in there record. So I am moving my house too so can they still goto court and do some thing ??


Or should I do allow them to destroy the goods.

thanks

Replied in another post. Don't try and fight them, they'll destroy them with or without you compliance. Ignore all correspondence.

Just ignore them and they will not contact you after a few days,and you do not need to move your home,there is no need for so big scare for only 400 pcs wii remotes.If it is 40,000 pcs wii remotes,you may think that moving home.

One more thing,do not use this address to import vero goods within 6 months.If you need to import the goods,and you need to get 1 more new address and new receiver name.

Teedon. A small parcel of mine was seized by customs recently. It only contained 2 pairs of boots. Is it ok to use this address still because of it being such a small order?

[stickmade]

arshavin,, i too got a small parcel seized,, but since then i have shipped plenty of parcels to the same address with no problems.. so it should be ok its only a small package

[teedon]

yes,sometimes you can use the same address,but if you got some another address,you had better to use the new one,just in case.

UK customs have been cracking down a lot this month. You've only got to look for the news stories. They confiscated 4.5million worth of goods in 2 months. If your importing clothing you might get a few parcels through but because of the current political party in power it's doubtful it will get easier any time soon.

[teedon]

Yes,you have to more attention and more carefully if you ship the vero products into uk from china.

has anyone ever had any problems with getting in dvds??? i have never got my stuff seized, and i import 100-200 dvds at a time???

[MERMAID]

[teedon]

You need to be careful when you import dvds into uk now,as uk custom have beginning to check this stickly now.

[aslam]

yes now a days custom opening every box they opened all my shipment and check the goods before they release to me

[forummember]

Yep, U.K. customs are really cracking down on ⊗⊗⊗⊗ goods. It's because of the newly elected government's plan to crackdown on counterfeiting. Every parcel I'm getting (with legit goods) has been checked so far.

[eternity4u]

True. Every parcel that comes from Honk Kong is checked. And also the customs have a new machine that checks what type of goods thier are. So if they suspect something dodgy, they would open the package.
Why would someone import ????. It's no worth it in the end. You are boud to get caught one way or another. So for few extra and quick money it is not worth to put yourself into this mess which can be hard to get out from.
Deal with only authentic products which would always be peace of mind.

^^Feel free to give us the supplier info on authentic goods ;-)

[eternity4u]

It's the homework you do before you buy it. Okay everyone gets scammed once but that makes it a eye opener for next time. If you know it's phake then you can never get away with it.

[imprezawrx]

just had 2 parcels delivered from China via parcel force. both vero items, no bother, nor have i with my other 8 parcels over time.

[teedon]

Just work with experience supplier,the shippment will go smoothy usually.Because they are doing this every day and know all situation,so they will choose the right shipping way and how to packing well .
