TBH, this isn’t too interesting, at least to me.
In a previous job, I got to know our Import/Export lawyer, who we needed assistance every time we needed to ship anything technological overseas; it wasn’t just import headaches on the receiving end, there were also export headaches on the sending end.
So it doesn’t surprise me if customs took some sample of product, found inconsistencies, and decided to hold the shipment. Yes it’s annoying and costs money (I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re paying storage charges), but you resolve it (cleanly) and move on.
- Scoundreller 8y agoThe question is how much politics/bribes determine which get sampled, how thoroughly, “finding” inconsistencies and how holding up gets decided. For my friends, everything. For my enemies, the law.
