AND do not run away like a guilty guy, its your stuff you legally brought it in and they should be accountable.
On the other hand large quantities of chemicals are always flagged if you don't have a business name attached to the shipping address.
All your future packages should be addressed to: xyz research chemical inc. C/O (your name) and then address, best if you can ship it to your work (a non-residential address) or someone elses work address. NO PO boxes. executive business offices also are good.
Figure 10-100grams missing from each racetam for their lab testing.

Good thing I ordered lots of each... Still, I hope it is only in the 10g each range.
I think you've got this ass over backwards - had you ordered smaller amounts in smaller batches it may well have flown under the radar. Anyway, too late to fret now. You may want to order your next batch in somebody else's name, and a significantly smaller one, that, if checked at all, will be deemed to be for personal use.

Yeah, this turns out to be the right answer. After screwing around with the gub'mint for a month, they released it to DHL, and it is on it's way back to China. Hopefully, they let it back into China. Hopefully the shipper understands enough english to know what has happened (they seem to know what is going on, but that isn't absolutely clear). Once it clears Chinese customs, and the shipper has it back, they will refund the money or ship it to me in multiple smaller packages. That is a lot of hopefully and maybees though. Sucks, but it may be a lost cause. 750.00 could be gone.

usually, we have 1-2parcels to be shipped back to China or to seized every two month, and then we reship for cusotmers or give them refund. and we carry them all by Chinapost.
however, the rate rises, we have total 6-7parcels with problem in one month, which make us loss many.
Fedex parcel with fewer problem but it takes at one month to receive the parcel.
your pacel either takes very long or shipped back to Soyong.
it is not about if the goods to be legal or illegal, custom is always strict with white powder

They were rejected as commercial importation of a "new drug". They would let a 90 day supply past customs, but not such large quantities for personal use. They seem to have done their homework and are aware of nootropics. Will probably go with the many small packages approach if it is feasable. I think their claim of calling it a drug of any type is dubious as it has never gotten to a clinical trial. That being said, customs is the one government entity that is not subject to complaint or scrutiny. Stopping the entry of drugs and weapons has that effect I guess...

Are you talking about Piracetam ? It has TONS of clinical trials and it has been available by prescription all over Europe for decades.Will probably go with the many small packages approach if it is feasable.

These are seen as high risk by customs, authorities etc and go through a stricter monitoring process, there are always issues with this type of shipment method when there is even the slightest possible reason for suspicion about the shipment contents.
I have found the best way to ship products like nootropics, herbs, legal RC's and other similar items is via your slower postal services such as USPS EMS etc, basically anything that takes about 4-8 days to be delivered (internationally). Anything faster then that increases the risk of delays and custom issues dramatically.

If you want to ship anything important you need to ship maximum 2-3 bottles or a max 3 month supply. Also 2 kg of a supplement at a time is bound to raise some red flags.
You could send all of the packages to a forwarding company in the usa and get them to send your supplements to you 2 bottles at a time or whatever using different names. They check packages from USA far less often.
It's unfortunate we're ruled by statist nutjobs but this is the reality we face.

1. Never buy a mixed order in the same shipment.
2. Couriers are always audited by CBSA. Use normal mail or EMS. Mail is not taxed either but couriers are.
I don't buy from China anymore due to misdeclarations. I buy from USA sellers whose shipments are virtually never inspected.
Here is CBSA's priority list for parcel inspection (frequency of interception):
1. EMS from Asian countries
2. Ground Mail from Asian countries
3. EMS from USA/GB
4. Ground Mail from USA/GB
Now I buy from USA sellers who use tracked USPS ground mail shipment. 100% success rate.
I use Focuspowders.

Good tips. And yes - limit your orders to "90 days worth of 'whatever'". And also try and use the USPS (if getting stuff from the US). I've only ever had one thing stopped (and returned) - and that was a DHEA type substance.Multiple mistakes.

Canada is actually pretty good if you are ordering RC's. A lot is still "legal" in Canada, but has been banned elsewhere. A bit strange that they allow substances that can literally blow your mind, but it's a "no no" to 91 days of piracetam lol.

shipping from UK to Canada is good way, we had done this way in 2011, but a little costly for us due to double shipping fee, from China to UK and from UK to Canada.

Having ordered a ton of substances ranging from borderline legal to totally obscure herbs, i learnt that shipping via couriers such as DHL, Fedex etc is always a bad idea.
These are seen as high risk by customs, authorities etc and go through a stricter monitoring process, there are always issues with this type of shipment method when there is even the slightest possible reason for suspicion about the shipment contents.

I concur about using EMS, much easier, but I am not so sure about the "longer option" being the better one, I think I've had just as good luck with EMS express post which can take 2-3 days.
