Customs seizure is the detention, refusal or forfeiture of an imported consignment by a border authority. Whether it occurs is a function of the importing jurisdiction's law, its enforcement posture, and the declared and actual contents of the parcel — and not of the quality of the material.[1]
The distinction matters because seizure is frequently discussed as though it were a verdict on a supplier. It is a verdict on an importation, and the same material shipped to two jurisdictions may be released in one and refused in the other.[1]
