Question shipping banned substances across the border

is this illegal? i was just wondering because i just ordered some ephedrine from the states and i had to pay a customs charge of $20.50. it said right on the box what it is, so shouldn't customs have siezed the shipment? i wasn't even expecting it to be shipped in the first place, i was just expecting an e-mail saying they couldn't ship that product to canada.

You would be surprised at the things people simply ship across the border and never get in trouble for.

Umm yup sounds like it!

If they didn't seize it and it's come through to a whole different country you'll probably be fine, I doubt they would be getting the cops to pop around any time soon. They probably just checked out the price and added the fee, without being aware what the package actually contained? or some shit.
