showstopper, are you asking about a particular country or just in general?

both... specially delivery by UPS and/or DHL. I just called them and they told me porno materials even just a poster are strictly prohibited. In airmail, they don't open the package but its quite a long time to wait for the merchandise to arrive.

UPS, DHL and FEDEX deliver porno materials in time (3-5 business days). They are also able to pass customs in most countries and are the preferred delivery method for adult material in a large range of countries.
If you call them and ask a official question they will negotiate it but in practice they are very good in delivery.
But be aware that you will have to pay a high price and high taxes for their service. You will have to calculate what's cheaper for you:
courier delivery and high prices or
the cheap US postal service delivery and the risk of seizurements by custom agents.

Prohibited / Restricted Importation
Written or printed articles, negatives or cinematographic film, photographs, engravings, lithographs, objects, paintings, drawings or other representations of an obscene or immoral character.


>> I'd just got this from our Bureau of Customs website... does 'obscene or immoral character' covers adult porn DVD's?

Anybody here uses DHL shipping method, but still had problems in customs?

showstopper, can you say which country you're in? This may garner you some more specific responses.

Hi! Im from the Philippines. I do buy and trade DVD's on the internet but as always an airmail shipping method and the last shipment was from Canada took 37 long days. The fact is I recieved it untampered.

Im planning to buy some DVD's in AdultCDMovies.com but they only have the $35 DHL Int'l shipping method. Like what I've said I called DHL (ph) and they told me that porno materials even just a poster are strictly prohibited (maybe if caught of course). I don't have idea how tight the customs inpect the package if they do open it. Im just curious if there's somebody here that uses DHL shipping method but did'nt pass the customs?
