I think what most likely happens is:
Computer automatically scans shapes for prohibited items. Your blacklisted address comes up and the agent carefully looks at the screen and declaration as it passes through. If he/she isnt satisfied, then the package is opened. If there is no prohibited item, then the package is let go. An automated system can store a whole lot of addresses and can automatically sort through. Not to mention, all the blacklisters dont order stuff everyday so the system isnt overloaded. |

At the end of the day.. its a hobby, a sport, not life and death..
Its not worth making your life difficult over.. If you think it may get seized.. Don't buy it. If you think it would put you on the blacklist.. don't buy it.. unless you look forward to rectal exams by CSBA agents..

mmm I dunno but I would guess they randomly open containers, check all the container's load, and switch to another randomly selected container.
They probably select primarily loads from Asia, because from Europe it's very easy to get your parcel unchecked. I don't think there is such a thing as a blacklist, but there's probably a file for each package that was stopped, with the recipient's name.

LApolicegear, and oneshottactical were fine for me
But anything my friends and I ever ordered from blackhawk was ALWAYS inspected by customs And you do absolutely get flagged for bringing in restricted items. If it's not restricted your fine. If your caught bringing in something clearly illegal, they most definitely check every package coming your way for a certain period of time. Buddy of mine had a desktop picture of himself playing airsoft on his laptop, they saw it at the airport and he got flagged for 5 years. Clear overreaction to nothing, but all his packages went through customs, all the time. And I knew one of our old importers really well, and his CBSA profile had more flags than the united nations.... Last edited by ThunderCactus; October 23rd, 2010 at 19:59.. |

Ever think the possibility of a blacklist is actually more effective than the real list?

There is 100% certainly a black list.
This is information coming directly from one of my good friends who is a CBSA officer. |

You can tell certain HK retailer are blacklisted already
RSOV is a really good example Redwolf Airsoft is another one Ehobbyasia to some extent. I've never imported illegal parts but I did import alot of stuff that misinformed CBSA would think it's illegal (Airsoft suppressor, GBB parts like Complete Lower Receiver parts kit and bolt carriers) I got my stuff open quite frequently, to the point even hose, tank regulator are even opened. The only times it didnt letter mails. |

Godwins law prevails.... The CBSA is more like the Nazi's than anything. (I don't know if they are, I just wanted to get Godwins law out there) Just one question though, why is RSOV on there? isn't the main bulk of their sales from accessories and not actual guns or lowers and stuff? I'm sure people have probably ordered that shit before but AFAIK their main sales are for mostly unrestricted stuff. Also, does anyone know if places like Airsoftpark and similar sites (ie. DragonRed) are blacklisted? I know they have airsoft in their names so might bring up some flags but for the most part they sell unrestricted stuff.
