Can customs confiscate your items in a package?

Don't worry! They don't/can't examine every item in every bag! Anyway, who is to say it is counterfeit?

I doubt anyone except an expert from the company that makes the item that has been copied would be able to tell! By the way we take a similar eBay item from Hong Kong item with us (to weigh luggage on return journeys) and have never been stopped as it is always in our hold luggage not carry-on.

The simple answer to your question is yes, customs are law enforcement institution with authority to confiscate, impose penalty, etc and one of their jobs is to go after counterfeit products. That said it's extremely unlikely they will go after your little balance, they simply cannot inspect every single package.

They can, but they won't unless there is some big alert. They mostly take things that are over the duty free allowance, duty not paid, or illegal . They are not going to look and verify one pair of shoes.

A lady told me she had the "Big Johnson" shirt franchise. Someone near her table was selling counterfeits . She told security, guess what; they were wearing counter fit "Big Johnson" shirts.

I accidentally "smuggled" in a liter of Kahlua . The border guard said, one litro, per week, max, without duty. He let it go.

Customs can do pretty much anything they want.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
