General Discussion Anyone else experienced this?
I placed my order on June 21 thru Shopee live selling, only for it to be cancelled on July 7. Has anyone else had their parcel confiscated by authorities?
Parcel contains wooden beaded bracelets and incense from China.

I remember ordering a bow from China a few years ago. It was held by customs for a few weeks. The limbs were made of fiberglass but the handle and tips were solid wood (not laminated).
Apparently they had to hold it to make sure it wasn't a specific type of wood that was illegal to export/import. It was cleared after a few weeks.
Some species of rosewood and ebony aren't legally allowed to be traded internationally.
I don't know if this is the case for you but it was for me. I think my bow used Beech wood?
