I had a package "randomly opened" from customs, but they did'nt take the video's, does this mean they store your details and keep an eye on future packages? (this came from Holland by the way, and I've got stuff from Canada, France etc, and never (touch wood) had one opened, thanks for any info

No: they will regularly open Dutch/German packets, on the grounds of their laxer laws re fisting/piss/scat/dwarves/ugly people/lesser spotted bandicoots......US rules are broadly similar to ours, so the stuff will pass sight unseen.

Not always sight unseen from the US. Depending on where it comes in, they sometimes look, or the Post Office look for them, to see if they can charge you VAT and import duty.

Yes, but I was thinking more on content than VAT-ability.

You never get shoddy half wound tapes by C & E Downunder

Infact I suspect that they tape them because I've had numerous packages opened and have never clicked on a tape and found it half way through

Must be my taste in porn
