When did these seizures take place?

Ok thanks for the reply. I've never ordered any of those types of movies that you mentioned (scat, piss, etc). All I've ever ordered is hardcore xxx American porn. In fact, the stuff I've ordered has been quite tame as it was from the 80's compared to these days. Some titles are very similar to the softcore versions of them shown on the Adult channel! Amazing that they don't get through to me. Maybe someone put me on a list for the wrong reason (like an office paperwork mistake) and I can get anything now. I will try and get my friend in America to send me something as a test.
I usually get a customs letter saying that the material seized is illegal and obscene and if I want it, I can take them to court. I joke with my friends and say it's cos they like the videos and want them for themselves. Seriously though, it's hardcore but almost softcore basic straight American porn!
I looked into the law about these sorts of things about a year ago. It turns out that there is an ancient law (hundreds of years old) that can be enforced on anything coming into the country. It is often used to seize any porn but is mostly used with bigger shipments (stopping traders here from operating).

hehe ok thanks. I'm not into that kinda stuff. I just wanted some older 80's movies. I had seen the softcore versions on the adult channel when I was younger and was interested in watching the hardcore versions. That's it in a nutshell.

The seizures took place in 1998, 1999 and possibly 2000. I haven't tried to order anything since then.

Ok thanks. I might try and order something to a different address if I can with a different name. What do they think I'm going to do with porn? lol. Maybe they're helping preventing blindness. Thank you UK customs for your concerns hehe.
