    Fucking canada customs...

    I ordered a $2000 bulk pack of content the other day, and it was supposed to arrive yesterday... Turns out it was delayed by customs. Probably because it's 23 burned dvd's...

    Today a FedEx person called to let me know that customs has removed the package from the station and she doesnt know whether or not i'll be able to get it.

    Is there any laws regarding importing porn to canada? What a pain in the ass...

      I've never had a problem, but I never did receive the Paris Hilton video I won on the Darren Austin show.

      I'm sure someone from customs has got it at home...fuckers.

      Just contact the provider, they'll surely redeliver it.

        Not sure about Canada but here in the states it is a bad thing just to ship it acrosss state lines. I assume that across international borders might be even worse. by the way I am not an attorney, i only play one on TV Good luck

                Thinking about it, I used to ship it from Canada TO the States all the time and never had a problem. I can't imagine it's easier to ship TO the States than to Canada.

                We only put the value at $1.00 though, because it was all data.

                  I guess the value of 23 dvd'r's would probably around $50

                      They're watching this stuff going between countries a lot more closely now to identify producers, distributors, and marketers of pornography.

                        First of all, it is against FedEx policy to transport porn... Ok, I know, they transport tons of it, but when you sign the manifest, it clearly states that.

                        For Canada, anal ( pics or text ) is considered obscene.
                        If you should receive a Canada Custom form ( K-27) stating that it is prohibited. No point in appealing, just let the crown destroy it.
                        I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

                        But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                          Obscene to distribute? You sure about this? If that's true, it's fucked up.

                          Canada shows anal sex on it's porn channels while the USA doesn't.

                                    I remember a few years ago, we imported a couple of hundred video tapes for digitizing purposes and EVERY single tape had been watched.

                                    They let us know they were doing it, so we weren't worried...but the fuckers didn't rewind a single tape.

                                        It's nothing too hardcore... dont even know if there's anal. But 23 dvd's of images and videos is quite a bit, hopefully it doesnt take them too long to clear it (if they do at all).

                                        At least all of the model releases and ID's are on the last DVD.

                                              Yeah, should be... the DVD's are probably worth about $50, the way i see it i'm paying the $2000 for the license.

                                                True, once it is cleared, Canada Custoims can't do nothing. It is up to the cops then....

                                                Video stores are full of anal, double anal, and so on. Community standards are not exceeded with that type of stuff, but Custom laws didn't evoluate ...

                                                I have I think a scan of the actual form ... try to post it later.

                                                I got many parcel seized ( 100 % seizure when arriving by mail ), and was charged twice with the illegal possession with intent to distribute ... Won on appeal after 25 K of legal mombojumbo ....
                                                I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

                                                But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                                                  Just got a call back from Fed-Ex.. he said customs has taken the package to review it which might take up to a week. I got the number for customs and a K-24 number, whatever that is.

                                                  I'll probably give them a call in a bit and find out what the hold up is.

                                                                What do you mean "unless they were not declared"? You mean the price the shipper put on the customs form?
