i believe it depends on the amt of gear that you were to receive. if it was alot and they feel like fucking w/ you-they can do pretty much whatever they want. My experice has been that if something gets snagged by customs, typically it takes 3-4 weeks to receive their typed up letter, sent to the address that the gear was being sent to, and the letter describes what they found and how much quantity. usually it states something like, if you want to claim the stuff it gives you a way to contact them; otherwise they will "destroy it"
sometimes international takes much longer, depends on the source, and how and when they send.
Good luck bro, if n e thing does come up, play the politician, "Deny, Deny, Deny."
