I to recently received a gold jewellry here. I think by law I should have
paid duty, but customs can't open everything. They probably focus
on larger packages and packages that "smell" a little rasta-like.
I have also found that customs tends to open couriered packages more
often than, say, 1st class or priority mail. |

| I was told that when my package arrives, customs will hold it and I'll have to go pick it up. Is that what you guys did as well? |

They only hold it if they want you to pay duty. I have been here since
1996 and I have paid duty once. Packages usually come right to my
door.
Usually cigars. |
