It’s most likely a fake letter from the folks he bought it from so they can keep his money and not face any pushback from him.
A few of those letters have been legit, most have not. |

Call the credit card company, cancel the charge for being too long.
Go to dealer with Silencer Shop kiosk and order a decent Form 4 suppressor. Next time he gets an itch for a Form 1, make sure he gets a stamp first. |

Drill baby, drill My Form 1 cans are so close in performance to a F4 can that waiting on the F4 cans seems like a waste. |

Quoted: My Dad called today. He ordered a fuel filter kit from china last fall. He forgot about it until today as he got a letter from the customs dept. Now he's worried he's going to get charges brought against him. He already called a lawyer. I told him to chill as he really doesn't need this stress in his life. He's in his 80's He hasn't gotten his tax stamp yet if that makes a difference. Any advice I can give him to calm him down ? Any update with your dad? What company did he order from? |

There's nothing to worry about. I got my letter a couple months back. And, unfortunately, my neighbors dogs are still alive.

All I received, after receiving the letter, were two empty boxes.
It was an extortion letter. It stated if I were to pay the 5x actual price paid "declared value", the chances of getting my "illegal items" was possible. I already had been refunded by the eBay seller, so I really didn't care about them. |

Letter is not fake (I wish this BS would stop) and nothing is going to happen except the crap kit got seized. Go on and live your life.

When ordering from Wish, choose a product/shipper that ships from their New Jersey warehouse to bypass customs and get it within a few days. Usually it costs the same amount or a tiny bit more than the ones coming from China.
Edit: if the letter is requesting money to be sent, it’s almost surely BS. |
