Has anyone actually had Global Entry revoked?

I have read that seized packages from overseas can result in losing global entry privileges. Wondering if this has actually happened to anyone?
I just asked someone on Telegram who has Global Entry/TSA Pre, and is a big China Grey buyer, that same question. He said he’s had some big packages (30+ kits) seized five times, and while he gets the seizure notice it hasn’t impacted his airport security clearance.

I was shocked and skeptical.

Thanks for asking this question. I’ve been wondering this myself and if the accounts of suspended clearance are largely urban legends. When I first read claims that this could happen, it totally freaked me out. But I think if it happened with any regularity, we’d hear more about it here.

It has and it's usually very difficult to get back, like needing to a hire lawyer.
It can for buying fake goods etc.
 
I haven't had any problems, but I did read on the CBP website that you are responsible for anything being shipped to you and could potentially have Global Entry revoked. But then you could just get TSA Precheck on its own and use the MPC app to get through customs more quickly.
 
I had mine revoked in December. Had 3 or 4 Indian packages seized. Nothing from China has been seized, but I've made several orders from China.
I turned around and got TSA Precheck and used the MPC line on my last international trip and beat my wife through the Global Entry line. I did appeal, but have not received a response. I only got to use GE once and it got canceled dang near a year to the day of receiving it. My last seized package was Azelastine allergy nose spray which is sold over the counter in the US. I can get it for $6 a bottle in India vs $15-20 in the US.

Thanks so much for this data point, hugely helpful to know that it's not an urban legend and sorry this happened to you. I was actually thinking of buying some stuff from India, but changed my mind on that.

When you say that you turned around and got TSA Precheck, did they cancel your Precheck when they cancelled your GE? Did you have to reapply, because Precheck comes with GE.

I take a few international trips each year, all out of JFK, and there is never everyone in GE. On my last trip, I was traveling with a work group and some people booked row 1,000 so we all waited for the last of us to disembark. Needless to say, the line was huge when we finally arrived at immigration. But we all went on our phone and did MPC and breezed through. I didn't have the heart to dessert them all, so I looked longingly over at GE.

My husband can't get GE because of some stupid shit he did as a teen, but he was approved for TSA Precheck. We've traveled abroad twice since then. The first time he got through MPC about 10 minutes faster than it took me to go through GE. The second time, we got through at about the same time.

MPC is pretty sweet. I don't travel internationally that much, so if I lost GE, it wouldn't be the end of the world, but if I lost Precheck, it would be devastating. I probably fly domestic 80 times a year. Good to know that they handle GE and Precheck as separate beasts.

They bundle TSAPC and GE, it's all one #. So with one goes the other.
 
When you get GE FIRST, it's ONE #.

Yup, that's what smart people do, just get GE.... 🤣😂🤣😂

Honestly don't remember why I signed up for TSAPC first. Maybe I didn't think I'd be doing that much international travel.

That's ridiculous, how does an OTC med trigger seizure?
I used an Indian supplier for my recent Jardiance prescription, had the prescription sent to them for good measure. It shipped from/through Dubai and had a customs declaration that stated personal use. So far so good...
 
Is this purely a US-thing or does this exist elsewhere? Before joining this forum I didn't even know something like "Global Entry" exists let alone that it can be revoked.
 
Damn you're are ordering 10 or more kits at one time. I thought I had a hoarding of peps problem. Glad to see
Pep hoarders unite!
Some people enjoy shopping for clothing, cars or whatever it happens to be....me, I like buying peptides....then I also end up selling them to friends and family, so that means I get to buy more peptides!!!

Global Entry is for return entry into the US and I'm assuming only for US citizens (but not completely certain about that). I am not aware of anything similar in other countries.

My seizure letters came across as they don't know what half this stuff is. There is an option to contest the seizure. I may do that if it happens again. There has also been suggestions from others that once you have a package seized your on a list and from then on everything will be inspected/seized. I haven't found that to be the case.
The group I'm buying Indian meds from now keeps the packages at 500g or less. This is supposed to reduce scrutiny/suspicion. I'm pretty sure nothing has been seized since following this guideline.
I'll admit, when I first started ordering from India last year I went hog wild and ordered damn near one of everything. I've got a shit-ton of crap I'll probably never use. Now I keep it to one drug at a time and <500g. I never even considered losing my GE.
Many people will say get a PO Box, but the anonymous PO Boxes are a thing of the past. Apparently after 911 you cannot get a truly anonymous PO box because the USPS and private mailbox services (like The UPS Store) are required by law to collect valid photo identification and a verifiable, physical home address for security, anti-terrorism, and fraud prevention purposes.

The Administration engages in arbitrary and capricious behavior and has revoked GE just for videotaping ICE activity. They use facial recognition or look up the person’s plates, find them, and strip the GE.

So, I wouldn’t be surprised if this Admin ultimately strips GE of anyone who’s getting shipments from China.

You and I are similar on that, my friends are clueless on procuring these life changing/saving vials.
