Hello,

(I know my English is very bad) But I have a question about he customs. Some people here ordered already from Keten, svenskakemi en other suppliers from (Europe). But the people here says it's possible that the customs find you chemicals in your parcel. Is it possible? And what if the find your chemicals?

Depends on the country

A few diffrent things could happen:

They get looked at and get cleared
They get looked at and you have to pay duty
They get looked at and they seize them and you have to pay a fine because they are in violation of shipping codes
They get looked at and they get seized
They get looked at and they get seized and they send the cops around
They don't get looked at and everythings fine

Where you at>?

I once ordered some barium nitrate off Ebay that I never received. I do wonder if customs took it or if the guy actaully shipped it though... I had bough stuff from him before and he was pretty useless overall as far as service went.

National mail order is usually OK, But international mail order can be bad. LOTS depend on where you are and the customs law and attitude.

As you do not say where you are We cannot help much.

Fuse has not been a problem for me either. Do you order oxidizers by mail? I had ordered KNO3 from USA before I found it locally. I am looking for KClO4, but am worried about it being seized by Canada customs if I order from overseas... any hints on where I might get some?

CCDCO.ca has been down since 2005 and the only other guy won't respond to me because he's busy doing weddings as the summer wraps up.

I think you are more likely to find perchlorate making it yourself.

I ask around the forums, hopefully someone will be able to privately ship some to one of us at some point.
