Unhappy Thread

Didn't someone else recently get one of these as well? I hadn't heard of anyone getting cigars seized for a couple of years. That sucks!!

I know a few people have gone through this recently. *cough*
 
US Customs must really be cracking down on the seizure of contraband/illegal imports, into the US, lately.

I know of an individual that recently had Dominican cigars (temporarily) seized but then released by US customs.
The cigars were purchased from a Dominican based vendor, and imported to the US by the buyer.
These cigars were not cheap; they are some of the most expensive Dominicans around, and they are certainly not 'illegal' to import into the US.

Buyer beware ............

That letter makes me unhappy, too. :( However, this related time capsule should help put a smile back on your face, at least for a few minutes...

Damn... I got the letter...

My stuff got seized! They claim the value to be 200$ for 10 CC... I know it was more, more like 4 boxes at 800$... What are they playing at? The letter is lengthy, I didn't get half of it... From what I got I can either forfeit it or fight it... All I can about is for this thing to go AWAY. No...

I import guitars into the US & there is a pesky little thing they call CITES.
en.wikipedia.org

CITES - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org
If you get caught importing an instrument into the US that contains any amount of an endangered species that just so happens to be listed in CITES Appendix I, then your item will most likely be seized.
If your item is seized, my opinion is don't fight it & don't even respond to the notice you receive from US Customs.
Just walk away ............
YMMV

It was me, although I just got my cigars listed as 50 Cuban cigars. Vendor made good on them, except that he didn't have any stock left and got a credit for the ones he ran out of.

My case is one of those private seller/buyer is responsible for lost or confiscated packages. You know what I’m talking about Anthony. The Punch Churchill’s were from 1996.... Ouch!

John that really hurts! I've really stopped buying because I ran out of space and hate dealing with this new issue.

Sancho Panza Gran Quixote Belux. Probably didn’t want to have to write that all out. I’ve got a few more boxes on the way and already have four, so I’m not that mad about those. The 96 Punch Churchill’s did hurt, and so did the PL Coronas 5ta Avenida. Hard to find and only 1500 boxes made. Great investment box.
