You're right, I'll edit.I’m m guessing you mean Europe an not United Emirates.
Do you mean from outside the EU sources or from within the EU?
It’s difficult to understand what you want to know.
Its not to detailed to reveal that.
You can definitely expect more searches around holidays. November-February.
EDIT: I'm talking about sources from outside the EU, specifically the USA. Although I'm getting worried about Swiss vendors too.I don't think it is a good idea to go into details (DM if you want them) but I have the feeling that random searches and such are getting more frequent in the EU. At least in Spain. Is anyone else having troubles they didn't use to have?
Yes, eurozone is way safer. But I've had two orders from an american vendor seized in two months. I haven't had any other issues with the same vendor in two years (more than twenty orders) and I don't know if it's just bad luck or customs getting smarter.France seized about 25000 worth in cigars over xmas
I think staying within the eurozone gives a lot better chances. Soft borders and such.
Customs authorities all over the EU are now more strictly enforcing control and surveillance over the shipments coming outside of the EU commercial zone.For instance our Finnish Customs on behalf with the National Mailing branch.will stop every parcel from outside of the Union in order to collect 24% VATYes, eurozone is way safer.
