Screening intensity on shipments originating in the US and the Netherlands is rising. Express and postal parcels with vague commodity descriptions or thin shipper/consignee data are the ones pulled for inspection, and the practical result is clearance delay for ordinary consumer goods that have nothing to do with narcotics. Shippers with heavy US and European volume should tighten invoice descriptions and verify consignee IDs and phone numbers before departure. For supplements and bio-based products where ingredient review is likely, having the ingredient breakdown ready in advance shortens response time once customs raises a query.
