I was caught with a small amount in my car about 6 years ago...back when I was a stupid idiot kid. Someone at a Mex. pharmacy tipped me off to customs becuase they knew exactly where it was in my car...hidden. I had enough for about two cycles worth, and I just recieved a very stern lecture about the dangers of AS use. I think they felt sorry for me cuz I was only 19 years old. I was really surprised that they let me off becuase I completely lied to them about everything. I even had to sign a little "forfeiture" letter....basically saying that I legally just gave the gear to customs and didn't want to take possession of it....LOL. As far as larger quantities go, such as a carload of shit....you WILL get arrested and charged...it's pretty serious. | ||

1.-If you cross in your car don't park in front of the pharmacie, try to park in a restaurant or some other place. 2.- Stay away from the turist guide 3.- Bring your girlfriend 4.- Try to contact a vet in the area do some research from guys that have been in the particular town you are visiting Peace | ||

Small stuff one or two cycles. Lose it and pay the value $500. Look like you sell you go to jail. ------------------ If you enjoy it today you can always do it again tomorrow. | ||

Got caught walking across with 12 Sust250. They made me sign the forfeiture tag that sbaset mentioned. I stood at that stupid metal table for an hour as each of those pricks took their turns lecturing me. "Haven't you ever heard of what happened to Lyle Alzado??" Worst part about it was the fuckers took my Cuban cigars too. ------------------ | ||

LOL at Thaibox...they mentioned the Lyle story to me too!! They must have them memorize some "analolic steriod speech" to give to the unlucky few that are caught. Oh, they also put your name and license plate number in their computer...so you'll be "tagged" the next time you come through. Not sure how long your name stay on the alert list though. I've been overseas several times in the past couple of years and I've had no trouble getting back in to the US...customs just waived me through. Seriously, I wouldn't take chances with large quantities....couple cycles...slap on the wrist...no harm in trying. But large quantities....you will go down. And if you look like a typical bodybuilder with the stupid looking baggy parts and a huge neck...fuggadaboutit...they WILL search you every time....LOL | ||

I'm not sure about customs but most Mexican authorities can be bribbed for anything, asking "Friend, can I pay the fine right here to you" is always a good start.  My buddy had to pay 900 pesos for playing hide the salami with a young lady on the beach.GC ------------------ -Nietzsche | ||

Tactic, you are wrong. Customs has NOTHING to do with Mexican authorities. If you get caught crossing into the US with AS, you are under the jurisdication of the good'ol USofA...in other words...if they decide to press charges, you'll end up in a nice clean federal holding cell. Not a flame or anything. | ||

How thoroughly do they search a vehicle??? like if i pulled up my seats and hid em there would they search as far as unscrewing and pulling them up?? Whats the best place to conceal the gear? ------------------ Life is short | ||

Well, i can only speak to my one time run-in with the US customs. If they have been tipped of to your smuggling, like I had been, they will keep searching till they find the shit. If it's just a random check, they'll probably just bring in the dogs and search all the usual areas of the car. These guys at customs are not idiots...they are pros, and they're very familiar with most hiding places in vehicles. My advise is this...if customs sends you to secondary and they start askig you about pharmacies and all that bullshit, you should just give your juice up. As long as its just a couple cycles worth, they'll let you forfeit it without any charges..you just walk away. If you start lying to them, and then they find the shit...you'll probably be screwed...I got lucky and got off AFTER lying to them. Remember, I really believe in sticking to smaller quantities...the charges are VERY severe for commericial quantites...just like any other street drug. | ||

no he is right about the puking part, when I use to smuggle out of laredo I got some food poisoning on the way down from KFC, and when down there I was puking up green beans, and the customs laughed and said you sure werent feeling it when you were doin all the drinking last night, and just laughed and waived us through. | ||

Great post YMK... I'd also like to add- try not to act too nervous when walking/driving through customs, and always try to maintain direct eye contact with the Customs agent...Have your ID out and anything you purchased in Mexico(legally) close to you to declare. | ||

One thing you bro's left out: Bring a babe with you. Guys are seriously distracted by a hot-looking babe. I swear it works wonders. Have your girl wear something very revealing and when you reach the customs agents they will be so busy looking at her tits, etc. the last thing the will be thinking about is your sorry ass. It works. T&A will distract just about everybody. ------------------ | ||

Do you guys think the search dogs can smell the juice? I know they can pick up dope but a vial of injectable??? Sound unlikely. ------------------ | ||

No way bro. Those dogs are trained for narcotics, weed, etc. they wouldn't waste a good dog on sniffing out juice. Highly unlikely. ------------------ | ||

LOL, dogs do NOT sniff for juice. But when you go to secondary...having been tagged as a potential smuggler...they still bring the dogs out for a quick sniff. They did that to me. I don't think you train a dog to smell juice...I mean, its just oil...and test...does that have a specific scent?? It's purity seal as well. |
