    Default I\'ve been hit - by German customs

    visit-red-300x50PNG
    This is a real story that happened to me.

    After about a dozen love-scent orders I got a

    postcard from German customs. There was a package for me. I\'ve been invited to pick up the package by a month. So

    one early morning before work I\'ve been driving to the customs. There was a girl (about 20 years) and a man

    (about 35 years), both like myself in good mood and we were joking around a little bit. It took a while for them to

    find my package.

    \"May we do it the classical way and look inside the package?\"

    I absolutely

    don\'t know my rights and and don\'t know if I really have a choice. So I smiled my sweetest smile and said

    \"Sure!\".

    You won\'t believe it. but it took half an hour in front of his computer to fill in all

    informations for the two(!) items in the package. The best thing came when he opened a HUGE book and asked \"Would

    you classify this as an eau de toilette or as a parfume?\". Now to the point why I\'m writing in the humor

    section: After a dozen love-scent orders this was the only occation, where I REALLY orderd EdTs (not from

    love-scent).

    And I\'m looking forward when a L-S package is cought, several clients are standing behind me,

    he opens this thick book and asks me how to classify...

    SoE: \"Ummm... See this roller - it\'s a

    deodorant\"

    TE Unscented: \"Ummm... the USA have the best cat piss in the world - a little pricey

    but...\"

    Androstadienone: \"Ummmm.... errr... well....\"

    This is the time when mones really cause

    an adrenaline response. Looking forward for your suggestions how to classify L-S products.

    (Bruce: keep on

    using those small cheap looking brown packages. The one that was cought was bigger and had a hard cover)



    Have fun with the customs all over the world.

    Most of the time Customs is not funny at all though. If you

    try to import something that\'s not allowed they just keep the stuff for themselves..

    American Customs agents have NOOOOO sense of humor, and are NEVER in a

    good mood.

    What\'s the old joke about in heaven the Germans are the car mechanics, the French are the cooks, and the English

    are the policemen.

    Meanwhile, in Hell the Italians are the car mechanics, the English are the cooks and the

    Germans are the police..

    There\'s more to it, of course.
