Do USA bees think there would be a problem with an
order coming thru customs?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, personally I think a large bottle if labeled as sassafras oil would be intercepted in the current state of heightened alerts.

Label it as something like, "Synthetic Chinese White Lotus Oil" or some shit and it should be fine.

That sucks, I don't think I can find anyplace over here.
How can they seize it if it's not illegal?

They would still need a leagal reason to seize it wouldn't they? You don't need a licence or anything to purchase,
so what UScode would they use to justify a seizure?

They hold it, and you might or might not be able to get it back after completing a bunch of paperwork and signing for it. If that's what you want to do, and if you have a very good reason they will accept then go ahead.

It may not bee illegal to import sassafras oil, but it certainly will raise eyebrows, if noticed.  I wonder if they have dogs trained to smell for sassafras, it probably wouln't bee all that difficult seeing how smelly it is.

Well, seeing as evrything seems negative from some smart bees, swim is gonna let it drop, but there has to be at
least a couple sources still selling good stuff in the
US, but swim just ain't got the money to take one more
fake sass order, and believe swim, it IS there, with fucked up Bps, and all sorts of confusing shit.
 Swims first attempt at amination ever,  resulted in active
product, and the 2nd with a yield.
    Can't get shit out of the fake stuff. The synth ain't that hard to do.
  Just need a good US source, (hint hint)

Yes and no,

Yea, it might raise an eyebrow, no they don't have dogs looking for the shit...

You have to think about the statistics involved.  How many home x brewers are there in the US.. Very fucking few.  They wouldn't waste the manpower/dogpower on it.. that is fucked up thinking.

Paranoid Tweeker.. enough said.

Really, if you think about it, this becomes nothing more than a money issue.  If you follow the proper protocol for a safe delivery, you have nothing to fear other than losing your money. 

"Oh my god, the seized my order and my name is now on a list, and they sent me a seizure notice saying they are going to keep it unless....!!!" 

Well, you dunb fuck, what are you doing using your name!!

Big fucking deal, they seized it... you should only worry about the money, and if you are worrying about the money, you have no bussiness trying to complete the costly experiment...

Swiw will have to agree with most of that except calling people names.Swiw isnt fond of meth himself.He hasnt looked in the amp forum for over 200,000 posts.and avoids it at all costs.Personally swiw isnt into stimulants.Lets move on to paranoia.A certain degree is healthy in this line of interest.Your only paranoid if your not doing anything right.There will always bee that untill you get aquisitions down.If you care enough to post derogatory remarks.You have enough time to help that person.This is a community for learning.Teach!Less criticism would help.Swiw was lucky to find some good bees that were very giving with the knowledge they held.Swiw new exactly nothing about chemistry when he started.Now hes getting 21 cups of honey from every 25 honeycombs he collects it from.Sure thats small time honey collecting.Give it some time.This is to swiws homebees!tongue

Wrong, that is not what I said.  You have to use careful planning when ordering...   try rereading,
specifically "If you follow the proper protocol".  If you don't know what I am referring to UTFSE, or think about it for a while..

That's what you said in response to my post. They would waste the manpower on searching for sassafras, maybe you've forgotten how excellent the government is on spending our money. Importing sassy is dangerous, more authorities would be scrutinizing the package compared to if it was ordered domestically. I'm aware of safe-ordering procedures, but thanks for the FSE suggestion.
