I just recieved a seizure notice from customs, I am terrified, what will happen to me?
In a perfect world you should have known the risks before placing the order...
There is no simple answer to this as it depends on the products seized, the quantity, and many other factors. The main factor being if your prescription drugs contain controlled substances or not.
Importation of controlled substances is against the law in most countries. Only those with special permits can import controlled substances.
In principle... the general consensus among those using IOP's seems to be that if your order is small, and for personal use, you should not worry too much but that does not match what the law says.
U.S Law says that the act of importation of the drug from overseas violates 21 USC, Section 952 (up to 5 years in prison and $250,000 fine for importation of non-narcotic Schedule III, IV, or V drugs; more for narcotics and Schedule I and II drugs). The act of simple possession of a controlled substance without a valid prescription violates 21 USC, Section 844 (up to 1 year in prison and $1,000 fine).
The letter will usually include your options.
See a sample: http://www.drugbuyers.com/loveletter
Most people receiving seizure letters simply accept the loss and do nothing about it. Most of the times nothing happens to them but is is our recommendation that you pay attention to the warning you receive. we think it is a personal warning...
A large order of controlled substances can be interpreted as not for personal use. It is a very serious offense and you can go to jail for s long time...

i'm 99% sure i got a fake "LL" from an IOP, and i want to call custom to verify if they have the reference # of the seizure on file.
Will there be any problems or repercussions in doing this? Any advice is appreciated. thanks.

The one thing I can tell you, that by calling them you are admitting that you are legally responsible for the package.

so what repercussions would happen? What if i just play "dumb" and tell them i received this in the mail, and i want to know what it's all about. i'm not telling them my name or address. I'll just give them ref# and see if my name and address pops up. Besides, i'm 99% sure it's a fake "LL" with a fake ref# or a ref # from previously seized order from someone else. Some IOP's are not only sending out fake "LL's", but sending them out with real ref#'s from previously legit customs seizures.

I think you and everyone else that orders needs to keep these two statements in mind when ordering! Very great advice!

I've received two LLs in my lifetime. Both of which were immediately tossed. Nothing EVER came of them, and my ordering patterns still remain the same.
Just my two cents. I wouldn't worry.

Wonder if they forward the info to local L.E.??
I don't think so. If they choose to go after you, I think that they will keep it on the federal level. I don't believe I've ever heard of a case where someone had local yokels kicking in their door over a LL.

How can a seizure letter mean anything?
You (the consumer) never received anything.
They have it!
If you're not caught "with goods in hand", how can any LE prosecute.
Only way to bust someone is stake out / sting op..
That costs the gov't $10,000+ to initiate, man and deploy.
Large quantities, sch II's, steroids, etc., DO GET INCREASED ATTENTION.
LL's are a moot slap on the wrist.
Now 10 LL's for sch III's might get local attention, but small quan. schIII LL's are just too much trouble for the over-burdened LE people to bother with.
Chill.

I would say no imho as in if you were really in trouble, you wouldn't get a letter. You would be set up for a controlled delivery. As in LE would personally attempt to deliver it to you at your home and get you to sign for it, then they would arrest you. This scenario would most likely only occur for Large orders of SCH4 meds (example, 3,000 valiums in a box) or more often for SCH2 (Oxycontin, Fentanyl, Rohypnol (ScH1 in U.S) or for large orders of SCH 3 meds, (hydrocodone, T'3, etc), now i'm not saying it is impossible not to have LE try to make an example of you over getting a pack of 100 valiums intercepted, as the previous poster stated, That would be quite expensive and take LE resources that would be better served going after the big fish. Basic rule is common sense.
I recently had an IOP offer me an AWESOME price on 1,000 10mg valiums. Something like 200 bucks and i asked how many packs it would be divided into, he said just 1. My response, "Sorry, no thanks. It is just too risky to get caught with that many"

I recently read about someone calling the number on the LL they recieved (on this board, I forget which thread and what med) the person told on the other line asked if they had ordered, and they said yes. They told them not to do it again.
Bertinetti your posts are always fun to read.

What is and is not legal in this country blows my mind.
I bought a whole bunch of beer and handgun ammo a couple of years back. Gotta love superstores. As I was standing at the register I couldn't believe it was legal. I honestly thought that they would have to ring it up seperatly.
Yet I know a girl who got a felony drug charge for 1 Soma/carisoprodol.

happy. Doesn't make sense to me, most people have been prescribed the med they're taking, far as I can figure. I guess we all need monitoring...
