[QUOTE="DoverPipes, post: 571194, member: 740"] US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has much bigger fish to fry. DHL screwed up and they are trying to cover their screw up. The Duty and "Internal Revenue Tax" (IRT) on pipe tobacco is pretty low. Pipe Tobacco IRT is currently: $2.83 a pound and $0.18 an ounce. Most Officers won't bother to write up a "Duty Ticket" on a couple of individual tins that are for "personal consumption". Not worth the effort. CBP has to deal with shipments that contain stuff like Fentanyl. A couple of tins of pipe tobacco wouldn't raise an eyebrow. DHL is the "bad guy" here IMHO. PS FDA doesn't collect any taxes. They can only issue penalties for prohibited contraband. Even then, they really can't collect unless they can actually serve the Shipper with the violation. [/QUOTE]
