Global entry and TSA precheck could be lost if customs intercepts packages.

Just a heads up that you can have your Global Entry and TSA precheck rescinded by Customs and Border Control. If you have a package stopped by customs with your name on it, they can cancel these services for ever. This relates to the list of banned substances and non approved substances seized by customs. Normally it happens 3- 6 months after the seizure. You will receive a letter revoking all privileges.

I am sure there are work arounds like sending to a different name. Something to think about when ordering from abroad.

Using a fake name could potentially cause even worse repercussions. From Google AI:

18 U.S. Code § 1342: Using a fictitious name/address to conduct unlawful business, defraud, or obstruct justice is a crime, punishable by fines or imprisonment.

Intent to Defraud: If the pseudonym is used to mislead someone for money or something of value, it's illegal.

USPS Actions: The Postal Service can demand ID if they suspect mail is being sent to an inaccurate address to avoid identification.

Mail fraud, definitely be aware.

Only buy from vendors with US stock.

I've read it's a 10 year ban with CBP/TSA. Lifetime loss of clearance if you had one and possible prosecution.

I’ve had a “vendor” for a different thing (skin cream) claim to ship US but then actually shipped to me from India (I.e. customs risk was on ME). Is there any way to guarantee with XYZ vendor that the domestic warehouse is real ?

Why are we fear mongering? This has been discussed in depth within this forum several times. People are fully aware.

Well most of us are peptide cowboys and aren't worried about silly stuff like this. Can't stop won't stop!

Lots of overseas suppliers with US warehouses.
