Help Customs etc

Good morning all.

So I've found a vendor on alibaba who will ship SN to the UK.

Question - apparently since October it's been restricted here, so I was wondering if anyone has any insight/experience into what will likely happen to the product being shipped?

My thanks and wishes for a peaceful day x

I don't think anything's changed about its legality since October (maybe others will correct me). It's just that the authorities are more aware of it. So if someone at Customs stops to read the packaging documentation, it might mean you get a welfare check i.e. police turning up at the door to make sure you're ok. Someone on here said they were doing these for other vendors as well as Kenneth Law. But it's a big if - customs spotting it and alerting your local force and them actually turning up.

Please let me know if you do end up purchasing and it arrives!! I've been considering that source for a bit now but I can't afford to get scammed :')

Happy if I just get a welfare check after the SN getting through customs. But need to know if the SN does get passed customs to a residential address in the UK?

I will let you all know once I've ordered it and had any kind of customs updates.

SN is on the current watch list, which means unless it has been mislabelled by the sender it will stand a high chance of being flagged up on entry. C & E also have access to details of known international suppliers, which attract attention.
As far as I know, thus far no action has been taken against any UK individuals who have obtained SN for personal use, just a "welfare check" from the Police Service.
The substance is viewed fairly seriously as far as sale or purchase are concerned within the UK.

Does the SN actually get delivered, even if flagged and a welfare check takes place?

I don't have personal knowledge, however as a controlled substance I'd greatly doubt it as the whole point of the potential explosives & poisons regulations is to prevent their supply to non permitted organisations or individuals.

My SN was delivered and received (UK) a welfare check some two months later, today. So there's clearly been some further crackdown

Damn, sorry for you.

How was the welfare check? Must have been horribly embarrassing.

Any family members around that you had to explain to?

Actually, turns out I wasn't present. I had it delivered to a friend's place (they volunteer to have deliveries for me as I have super controlling parents that I'm living with at the moment). So whilst it was for me, my name and address weren't provided. This meant he could just say he never ordered it, but panicked and gave them my name and number but then went on to misspell my name and number for my sake lol. But if they wanted to they could find me. Welfare checks aren't rough, I've had them myself before. You just stick to the script that you aren't planning on harming yourself and haven't harmed yourself. I've never had one at my parent's home, however. And if they ask me for any further info I've just said "I don't believe I actually have to tell you that so I'd prefer not to thanks". But honestly I'm scared about the fallout now. They must have a list of people who've ordered and my payment details and address could be accessible that way. I'm just so gutted I didn't get the chance to test it

It's not a controlled substance though. It clearly states that it's a reportable substance. And only UK companies are required to report suspicious transactions.

Did the customs form say Sodium Nitrite? I ordered from a different website and the custom form labelled it a certain category rather than a specific name.

I've had mine delivered mislabelled, no issues

Nope. The customs form and package was mislabelled as promised. Tracking went through smoothly. Hence the shock welfare check some two months later. I just want people to be aware that I thought I was out of the woods, and something has clearly changed despite my actually receiving it with seemingly no issues

I've had mine delivered mislabelled, no issues

I just dropped you a PM, we used a different source so there's every chance you'll be totally fine anyways, I'm just letting folks know my experience bc the welfare check was a shock despite this mislabelling how I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the police station lol

My bad, it is indeed classed as reportable, and the fact that non UK suppliers have no duty to report to our authorities has no bearing on the C & E watch list.

could you please pm me your alibaba source if that's ok? although if it's like a kilograms worth that probably won't be helpful
