Didn't realize this had become it's own thread...deleted my random skincare product comment.

I can see it being something like this, only because when I worked in import/export, I saw these cases all the time. Customs would flag shipments for random inspection and then deny them entry for any infraction. If an item contains too much of a certain substance, is not recognized as acceptable ingredient for use in the product it is being marketed as, or some of the products have large anti-dumping duties attached, customs will deny it. Customs also scrutinizes packaging. Granted, I used to deal with oceanic shipments, but most Asian and European companies had to provide proof that none of their packaging contained harmful substances and had been 'sanitized' to ensure that no bugs/diseases/chemicals hitched a ride over. If they're missing any of that information when they're inspecting a shipment, they'll usually just deny it as well. Unless you petition it, and then they will probably ask you to provide all that before they asses your claim.Why was the box seized? Was there a product in it that violates import or something?
Your welcome! I had to look up all those titles and sections that they referenced on the first page. That is how I found out what the reason was.Thank you @@LoveSkinCare for your clarification. My sole purpose behind petitioning the box was to find out why it was seized in the first place as the letter didn't state why for the layman.
I think I'll just let this one go and be happy Meme was on top of sending out a replacement as quickly as they did.
Thanks again lady! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
The letter doesn't state why, other than something about Title 19 and being falsely manifested and inadmissible by FDA. No idea what any of this means. Any of you ladies with a legal background want to chime in? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
