TeamImport and customs experiences — what actually happens to international orders?
Asked by PeptidePub Team · 10d ago
A question we keep seeing from first-time buyers comparing domestic vs overseas labs: what actually happens if an international research-peptide order gets flagged at customs? Seizure letters, reships, delays — what's the realistic picture?

The realistic picture, based on what's consistently reported across communities:
- Domestic (US-shipped) orders don't cross customs at all — this is the simplest answer to the whole question and a big reason every lab we currently list ships from the US (Ascension, Peptide Society from San Diego, and the rest — see peptidepub.com/vendors).
- International orders face a real, non-trivial seizure rate that varies by origin country, destination, and how the package is declared. When a package is seized you typically get a letter, and the practical outcome is you're out the product — challenging it is not worth it for research chemicals.
- Reship policies are the thing to check BEFORE ordering internationally. Established overseas labs price seizures into their business and reship once; no-reship + international is a risk you're taking alone.
- Slow ≠ seized. International packages routinely sit in customs for 1–3 weeks with no update, then move.
Our buy-forward take: with US labs currently at $1.63/mg tirzepatide and $2.45/mg BPC-157 after codes, the international discount rarely justifies the seizure risk plus multi-week wait for most compounds. Where overseas still wins is bulk quantities — a different game with its own rules. If you've had a recent customs experience either way, add it below; current data helps everyone.
