Of course they will be seized. Corrosive, poisonous liquids in the mail??!!
Customs are just following standard procedures, but in case it is not realized, this can constitute a serious offence. Dangerous goods are just that – dangerous.
When I’ve ordered E1 & E2 kits from ComSol, they have been shipped via courier - not undisclosed through the mail.
Just because something is permitted in other countries, it doesn't necessarily mean it is allowed here. Health and safety regs may be fairly standardized, but mail regs differ from country to country.
If you are intending to legally import something into Australia, check with the relevant bodies before ordering. You may find the supplier will be able to accommodate any special needs the goods require, such as labeling or special packaging. It may not even affect the price. I’m sure the EZ crew would do this if they felt the growing market of Australia was in threat
Another thing not to forget is that Australia Post is a federally controlled body. Therefore posting anything not permitted or restricted - drugs or undeclared dangerous chemicals - can result in charges being laid by the federal police.
ANY thing which crosses any ocean e.g. Melbourne to Tasmania; is scanned for explosives and DANGEROUS goods. This has been the undoing of many an intended good deed, and stopped the once common but highly dangerous practice of sending undisclosed fireworks from Tassie to the mainland.
Hopefully we may soon see an amine test made locally. The first step is to convince local manufacturers that a market exists, and that such a kit is ethically acceptable i.e. doesn’t appear as encouraging or condoning drug use by being seen as a test to distinguish between good and better (e.g. MDA – MDMA). I’m optimistic the PMA argument will outweigh any such concerns.
Now for the test which discriminates between MDA / MDMA and PMA……
