    They are good quality brushes, it's a shame our government is so picky.
    It was quite a shock when I got the call from UPS about the seizure. Then a real eye opener when I got the first letter. Then the second letter started me fuming. Get this, the USF&WS puts a value of $65.00 on the brush. I guess it is like the Air Forces $400.00 hammer. I just wonder if it is because the brush is from China? It's not like we are trying to import raw material or untreated hides. Oh well, our tax dollars at work.

    Need to get The Big Spender in this thread to see if there is any course of action for you to take. Seems like they need to show you exactly which regulation you broke and how in a timely manner or they have violated you rights to property, at the very least they need to adjust the value based upon the price paid, as I assume you have a receipt.

    And people wonder why I'm a Libertarian

    If you want a laugh do a search and see how Rolexes are handled. He told us once.

    Customs protecting us from shaving brushes and watch bargains but letting the terrorists right through, there heads are so far up their @$$es the only daylight they see is through their digestive tract.

    I received a similar phone call. Since they are backordering them, we will get the same post price. I'd hate to see the brush go from $2.50 to $25.00.
