The prevailing wisdom around here says that it's pretty safe to bring gear back to the states as long as you don't get greedy and get too much. MY QUESTION: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

i've been making trips and bringing back around $400 dollars worth at a time and i've been nervous every time. i almost want to just make one big fat trip instead of little ones but just like you, i really don't know the consequences of getting caught with a large amount of gear. bump this shit! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

It's hard to say...I know people who've gotten popped at the border with 500+ vials of vet gear and don't get arrested (cars are seized and a fine is issued, fine is determined by the value of the gear seized- 500 Nora200's valued @ $50 each by US Customs...$25,000 fine, FUCK THE CAR!)...but if you check out the US Custom's website you can read a ton of stories where people got arrested for bringing across what I would consider "personal-use" amounts of gear- this usually happens at the border crossings between Mexico & Texas- Custom's agents at the TJ/San Ysidro crossing seems to be much more lenient though. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Fact: a lot of people bring back some gear from mexico without being caught by customs. My view on this: ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Listen to Damien it is different from case to case... One time a "personal" amount may get you a fine the next a night in jail and a charge. I personally take the risk, but only small amounts never more than $300 worth at a time, but I live close enough to be able to do this. Yes, I believe my odds of getting caught are higher given my 4 trips a year, compared to others 1. If I get caught though, I would feel much more confident that odds are I will be released and fined. Carry $1000 plus and get caught, they may decide you were intending to distibute, you are then fucked!!! Also I can hide small amounts in places, I know even if searched chances are they wont find it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

it all depends on what you're getting-nor200 bottles are pretty easy to tape to your leg or whatever your method is-but 1000$ worth of sos amps is a little harder to carry on yourself-next I would recommend a mid week mid afternoon trip-the only two times I have been their was on a monday afternoon and a sunday afternoon-huge difference in security. ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I go down to Mex once a week to inject and have been tempted to cross with some gear but havent. Ive become such good friends with the pharmicist that he has finally gained my trust. For $30 bucks plus 10% of total order he will ship my gear to my home. He says it takes 2-3 days to ship. He also showed me a huge list of orders he has and its legit. Me and 4 other guys are going in together and he will give us a good price break. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||
