Just received an empty case from eurodvd (disc sent separately).The package was inspected by customs and they left a note:

" contents of packet found NOT to be in accordance with customs declaration."

Anyone know what this means?

Just to note that the box did not show anything too graphic except an inserted dildo and the film content was similar to an Anabolic release.

Are you in the UK? If so, then they do not need a customs declaration label, since they (erodvd) and you are both in the EU. If not, then the label probaly declared the package as containing a DVD, which it didn't.

Hardz,
I had the same thing happen to me with an eurodvd order but I didn't get a note.

If possible I get them to send the artwork only and buy an Amaray case myself. Unfortunately some euro distributors like DBM use these boxes with printing already on them so they have to send the complete case.

Customs in UK is very strict and although they have laxed their standards, it is very subjective, and each officer of Customs has their own opinion asto what is acceptable. The best method is to avoid customs completely using special packaging!

Those DBM printed boxes are a nightmare!!!!!!

I once asked for "Special Packaging" and you will not believe it, but eurodvd sent the disc and cover in a white envelope.

Even a blind customs official could tell there was a disc in the `letter`.

Eurodvd should get advice from Orazmik on the meaning of the word discrete.

Hi,

I just received two dvds from erodvd...in their cases. The packet had a yellow customs examination stciker on the outside saying that the post office in the United Kingdom had opened the package for examination by customs and have resealed it. I even got a pleasant note inside from customs to apologise for the inconvenience reading:

'We chose to have your letter/packet opened by the post office as part of our selective checks for prohibited goods which are sometimes concealed in letter mail.
This is the only reason it was opened and we assure you that the privacy of correspondence is always respected.
The law requires that the Post Office to produce to us selected postal packets and if neccesary to open them for our examination. Authority for this is contained in Regulations 11 and 12 of the Postal Packets (Customs and Excise) Regulations 1986'

The dvds I ordered were Virtualia 1 and 2 by Private. This time last year customs would have confiscated these immediately despite changes in guidelines at the time. My gut feeling is that it is just taking a long time for the news to filter through everywhere. Their website was only just altered to reflect these changes about a week ago!

Flinty,

Thanks for your info.

Titles from Private and those from companies in the US should have no trouble with UK customs.

Problem discs are those from companies like DBM, GGG or Videorama because those individuals (customs and the like) who feel the need to impose their "moral" objections to sexual acts such as fisting and such.

Why they object to fisting is a mystery because this type of sexual foreplay is clearly performed by very talented and consenting adults?
