A:
Receiving a notice of seizure from US Customs can be concerning. The letter indicates that your product, peptides, was seized under specific US codes, and it's important to respond promptly. Ignoring the letter can negatively impact your chances of resolving the situation, including reinstating your Global Entry status.
First, carefully review the notice to understand the reasons for the seizure and the specific regulations cited. The codes 19 USC 1595a(c)(2)A and 21 USC 331 typically relate to importation and health regulations. You should gather all relevant documents and information about the product to support your case.
Next, follow the instructions in the notice to respond within the given timeframe. This may involve filing a petition or providing additional information to contest the seizure. If you act promptly and provide a thorough response, you increase your chances of resolving the issue and potentially reinstating your Global Entry status. Seeking legal advice can also help you navigate the process effectively.
