Dear Shashi,

Every single package leaving China will have a sticker and a matching
custom declaration stating that what we're shipping has no commercial
value. Anything else has to do with your country customs and nothing
with SFD. I myself do suffer from custom officers once in a while even
if there is a sticker and the proper declaration. I have learned to live
with it. You might want to do the same...
