How does customs seizure affect tracking? I KNOW
#1
In all the years I've been doing this, never have I been able to answer this question. If my tracked package is seized, does it display on the carrier site? For me it did not.  Had a pack go out in November, and up to last week it said "inbound into custies". 

Got my LL last Wednesday, and the tracking still shows Inbound.

That may not answer it definitively, but it tells you more than any Google search to date.

In my experience no it doesn't indicate anything. The status tends to be at the depot and stays stuck there. But every country may be different

It varies as to where it is nabbed and will post last place it was scanned before removed from the forward going mail,once it said it was seized and in custody of postal service,and a month later I recieved a generic letter from the DEA of that part of countrymen also recieved the actual envelope used to ship my mags and it Wa all torn up by sorting machine,,I'm pretty sure it probably ripped and was discovered right there,this was poor shipping in my mind because envelope wasn't the proper one for contents

I got just the front half of an envelope once from a vendor- it came with a form that you could fill out to have them search for the contents of your envelope. Thank you no!

In my case when the package was seized the site showed sth like "Awaiting for Inspection". During that time a form was sent to me asking to inform about the contents, I did not and requested it to be sent back. About a month or so the package was sent back but the status did not update.

I had a package opened and resealed I the goods were not marked and they just let it through There was a notice inside but they must have thought everything was legit.

I was VERY lucky. The package was from abroad which is obviously far less risky than a UK to UK package getting stopped.

For me, the status never change, it only show when it left the vendor country. Even, the only time I got a love letter, it was the same thing.
