Reply To: problems at the customs for the toxicity of pigments?

Regarding your questions, there is one reply on facebook:

Shǒu Bì Qiáng Zhuàng Personally I hate Customs. They drill horrible annoying holes in my Brushes, gun barrels, ornaments… everything. Drilled holes just in case I’m smuggling heroin into the country and everything I buy is deformed like this. No exceptions.
You would think they’d use a tiny 1m/m drill? No. Its a stonking great 5m/m hole. Sick society.

On top of that they charge me, as in the last case, £70:00ukp $120:00usd extra for my ink stone from inkston.com.

UK. Regarding paints in tubes, no issues in the UK yet. Liquid inks are allowed and so are paint chips. That or they got through customs unnoticed. If I label a parcel I just write “Art Materials”.
If you write “PAINTS” they will assume its a tin or a great big bottle of liquid and question and stop.
