The penalties for misdeclaring goods (even though the vendor misdeclared them) ranges from $500 to $25000.. and you can be sure that it won't be the vendor that pays for it...

You can still buy things like filter tips etc. though. I used to order drum tobacco all the time from PA. 20 or more pouches of it. Then the senate outlawed it last yr. :( However...when they shipped it before it was outlawed, it always came marked as something else. Never showed what it was, always said , homemade sweaters etc.. and never had a problem with customs for over 2 yrs I ordered from there. It was a quarter of the cost of buying a pouch of drum here. American politics...sigh.. Hey Mike
