Cyclone Trooper Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Specifically, I ordered a Revoltech Queen's Blade Melona figure from HLJ, which for intents and purposes, is a completely naked figure with removable clothing and...um, other accessories. I just bought her for the articles, I swear! http://www.hlj.com/product/KYD02104 HLJ states on its website that the buyer must check with his/her country's customs agency to see if an item like this can indeed be imported or not. Well, I checked the U.S. Customs website and could find absolutely nothing pertaining to items of an "adult" nature getting intercepted by customs. But that doesn't mean that there aren't laws in place that would make it illegal. Anyone on MW familiar enough with customs to know the answer to this or not? If the figure gets snagged, then I'm only out about $40, but at least I'd know one way or another whether to expect this to get shipped to my front door or not. It's not like I'm trying to ship a 1-watt hand-held laser into the country or something like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noriko Takaya Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I think you'd be all right to order it. HLJ usually lists the items they sell as model kits and figures anyways, and I high doubt customs is going to open it. I've been ordering stuff from them for years and have never had problems. I mean, for Christ's sake, Barbie dolls are imported from China or where ever and they have removable clothing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemax151 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I got that exact same figure for a friend from HLJ as a gag gift and I had no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 If you're ever in doubt, make sure the shop you order from has a "gift" option, which specifies special packaging & designation I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) this was my most recent purchase form HLJ: http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT34577 and I had no trouble getting it delivered. honestly half the stuff I've bought from HLJ is this kind of stuff and I've never once caught crap from customs.
