Title: Canada Customs
Post by: LDR on January 06, 2013, 07:45 am
Canada customs have been shown on TV some of what they find, how it was shipped and packaged.
This even goes for packages being mailed out of Canada.
Things that they said that they look for are:
- excessive postage
- Target countries know to ship contraband
- They x-ray packages, in and out going.
- wipe down and test for drugs

One package being shipped to China was marked as baby formula, but was found to be cans packed with pot.

TV show is called: Border Security: Canada’s Front Line

(Border Security: Canada’s Front Line is based on an Australian series now in its eleventh season. 
The Australian version is a ratings hit and won Most Outstanding Factual Program at the Australian Television Awards in 2009.)

Someone shipped "baby formula" to China where they mass produce the shit cheap as fuck and then wonder why they found it.

That's what I call a LOL!

+1 No kidding. Furthermore, to put it in cans means that there must have been quite the quantity being shipped.

SO!... maybe this is why quite a few of MIMM's orders are not reaching their destination lately?  Maybe my 'conspiracy theory' that a lot of his gear is not even getting out of his own country is getting close to the truth??

Other things that they find.

Stun guns labeled as computer parts.
Shipping a rice cooker from China that is packed with drugs.
Gun parts shipped form the USA.
Wedding invitations filled with drugs shipped from China

This is all just at the Post Office.
What goes through the airport is funny at times
The border crossing is worse. People trying to bring pot in to BC.. Why???

Well some of them have prescriptions for it, and think that they can take their pot products with them over the border.
Others are just retards. They should know that they can buy pot easily in BC. :P


Also in another note:
Here is the system that customs uses to scan for drugs
