A 100$ officers why the BFL do not remove the logo from box how can i scam the customs officers No that is not about Germany. The whole EU got the same laws about that custom/importing stuff. So it COULD happen that the whole EU will block butterflylabs packages.
You cant scam the customs. They look at the adress where it comes from and they can also check packages by specific weights and dimensions.
Example: Package with (12cmx50cmx80cm and 2400 Grams) = check everyone manual.
They have the infrastructure to do such things and it happend in the past. (Lots of chinese vendors got blacklisted for shipping fake tshirts and jeans)
Even in non-EU states(like Switzerland)!
They care about US power cords? Seriously? Most of the time these are built to handle 230v 10a anyway, as almost all power supplies these days are switching power supplies that can handle anything between 100 and 250v.
Wonder if they confiscate Cisco gear for the same reason? I've never had a switch or router arrive that hasn't had a US power cable included. Got a huge pile of them somewhere now...
Oh also, its entirely possible they're wrong about the certifications... I've seen Customs do stupid things many times before. Maybe someone in customs knows what it is and wants to hang onto it for a few days?

Their FCC compliance is likely also fictional
Could very easily happen in the USA as well!

Well,
one of the german community member posted in the german section that his BFL got seized by the customs. They believe that the CE Zerification is non-complian and fictional. They also failed to have a EU conformity declaration and a user handbook with information.
The main reason why it got a suspect by the customs: they included a american power cord in the package! Holy moly what would've happend if the user used that cable? USA(120volt)(germany 230volt)
That guy would be burned by now.
The package goes now to the Office of the Federal President for further inspection. It MAY happen that Butterflylabs gets "blacklisted" by the european custums and all packages that go in the EU gets seized!!!
Inaba: I dont want to ruin your business. I just know that you dont read PM/s or Emails. So I thought that this Thread was the best to inform you guys. I have a lot of experience with german customs (through my job of importing stuff) and I know that this is a very serious condition right now. They think that you just "printed" the CE label and put it on their without checking your components...
I may help your company to get cleared by the customs, but that process consums a lot of time and money.
