DVD v VHS Customs

Post by Daz »

Off topic slightly but...

Are Discs less likely to be stopped by HM Customs than VHS tapes ordered from abroad. Is Europe safer than US?

From my experience, the US is safer then Europe (remember there are restrictions on US stuff, where-as a lot of European stuff is anything goes). However, if it comes through Customs, it doesn't matter where it came from, they're likely to run themselves off a copy if they suspect it might be porn.

The best thing is to order one product at a time, pay for insurance so you can always re-order free if you have any problems, and if possible (and if the distributor does it), get them to re-label the package as 'gift' or something other, and if possible order a DVD. It's more likely to be mistaken for a book.
