If U.S. customs intercepts your package, a letter stating that they have you package will be sent. If you try to go pick it up you will be arrested. I don't think anything happens if you don't go.
Actually, you are partially correct! They DO confiscate your seeds and send you a letter (and DO NOTHING) BUT there is NO WAY you can attempt to pick them up! Because they send everything BUT the confiscated item. The letter is usually inside a opened and reclosed (sometimes stapled) envelope.
What you can do, is call a number and give the reference number they give you. WHY? Because 1)you are incredibly stoopid (SIC) or 2)You feel that the item was wrongfully seized! Of course, since it WASN'T you wouldn't call.
And do NOT call if you are a prop 215 medi user (As a friend of mine did) The FEDS seize it and it IS against fed law.....
I have a collection of about 12 letters (since 1990) from agriculture, customs and finally Homeland Security! They are only good when the TP runs out!
i got a question too:
what u guys think happens when the police confiscicates your order?
do they come to your house and you have to pay a fine ?
The POLICE DO NOT confiscate (or even confiscicates) seeds!!
IF they are snagged they will be snagged by Agriculture or Homeland Security/Customs!
They will do NOTHING!! They will NOT even intercept the next letter!! They will remove and destroy the seeds, insert a form letter, and move on to the next 10,000 seizures!!
Please NOTE: this is for the US ONLY!!!
