Customs letter received/snagged gear

ad

Hey
Can someone give me any advice (for my bud). He just Got a customs letter today (from earlier post gear got snagged in July) - and it said that he has several 'choices' (letter came certified mail...) - the first option was doing nothing, and the goods would be just confiscated - would have to sign a form, releasing the goods, and it appears from the language of the letter that would take care of it. He would have to sign a notorized form to be sent back saying he agreed to release all goods, etc. (it was a small order under $100) as documented in the letter - etc.

Is that it? Can someone give me some advice for him - meaning no fines if you just surrender stated goods, etc. - small amount - it appears that way, I just want to confirm.

help.

Dude , if it was that amount, i would just let it go. You dont wanna risk any bullshit just for 60 bucks worth of gear. Let that , charge that to the game . Find a better source that has better packaging on the reviews.

It's similiar to a cop pulling you over, and saying to you "Son, I saw a car that looked like this one, and it was speeding. Were you speeding son? And, if so I will let you off with a warning." If yes answer "yes" the officer might give you a ticket for speeding anyway for admitting you were speeding, or he could let you off.

Just, because something has you name on it, and was mailed to you doesn't necessarily mean it is yours, because it isn't in your possession. Brett Farve signs plenty of Footballs, but that doesn't mean all those footballs are his just because his name is on them. If you admit possession by replying to the letter customs could choose either to let you off or they could fuck you over. Seriously just ignore it! Replying is admitting guilt, don't reply in any circumstance! You have rights, and one of them is the fifth amendment. If you did something bad keep your mouth shut!

Plausible deniability, I didn't sign the letter because I didn't expect an out of country delivery...

does it matter my wife signed and it came certified mail - or just dont return anything and that should be ok.

NOT interested in a resend - small order. just dont want to lose my mind over this - it literally said XXXXX worth ($60.00) - etc. etc - with a package, a letter, a form letter to sign and notorize, etc. - it also says if he does nothing, process will start and just have customs seize it with no challenge, etc. I dont see anything about fines or other big time issues...
