"Handed over to Customs" 20 bottles 20ml juice from china. What will happen to me, any experience?

[Clement]

Hello Everyone, the subject tells everything. Currently i take my vacation in Singapore, and ran out of my juices. I ordered 20 bottles of 20ml juice for myself by EMS, and it says: Handed over to Customs.
Does anybody knows what will happen after that? Should i wait for some penalty or anything?

Thanks for the answers
Clement

Really sorry about what happened to you. Looked around real quick and found this thread for you:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/law-e-cigarette/212464-singapore-ban-e-cig-continue.html

It might help out and after 5 posts. You can ask some questions there.

Thank you very much for you quick response!

No problem but it isn't the best idea to post what they call "spam" as well. The moderators don't like that to much.

Since you technically have 6 posts. After an hour you will be able to post in the thread I gave you a link to. Hopefully you won't get penalized for the other thread you just made up or the previous posts you just made.

Oh, i didn't know that (sorry moderators) i'll try to take care of these rules, to be honest, i'm not really a forum user

Don't worry about Clement. I'm sure they'll understand and I honestly wasn't a forum user until just a few years ago. Started out with cars and now I'm a member at a e-cig forum. I would've never thought that I would be this much into the internet back then but look at me now

What happened Clement? Did they fine you? just confiscate the goods?

BTW There is an SG-Vapers group in ECF's Social Groups

No fine, just sent a letter, to go in, and get my goods, if i won't do it for 30 days, they destroy them ... of course i didn't go, since that, silence, so i suppose, that was all.

to get your goods?
so...they released it to you?

if it is what i understood by reading your post, then shipping in liquids with nic is a green light i assume?

I suspect going to get your goods would have been tantamount to a plea of guilty in Singapore, thus subjecting you to any penalty they might like to impose. Good call on leaving them, I think....

 

[sliq]

hey djp5690, thats a good explanation. why didn't i think of that!

customs: so here are your 20 bottles of juice and a fine of $10,000. On top of that you get a free 30day stay at the prison.
you: (FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUck)

Sometimes my paranoia pays off. I tend to be a bit distrustful in situations like this....

I'm with djp on this one. There's no way I would have gone in to pick up the juice. Too many horror stories out there!

No, they sent me a letter, to go there, and get my stuff, but in my opinion, the ministry would never release illegal goods, rather fine me, if i was went there... so i never showed up. You can try, if you are lucky, you will receive it (and you can't count for me as a buyer ) if not, probably that's the worst scenario what happened to me.

i sympathised for U & Singaporean smokers..not able to import in..Singapore is a fine city unlike in Malaysia electronic cigarette is not a banned item..i recently received my package,was scrutinized by custom but released without penalty as my photo shows..regards mafig
