Talking Plants sent over Canadian Border

Hi, can anyone tell me if customs sends you a note saying your plants didn't have the proper documentation and they have been confiscated; or do they leave you just guessing?

This is the Canadian customs I am referring to.

thanks, m

American customs (the reverse) places a yellow tape on package and a note inside. Note sure how Canadian does it.

From what I heard, they confiscate the plant and send you a nasty letter....

its the truth and people that mail to Canada from the states also have done it before and know that sometimes were "desperate". Its my risk and IF it gets confiscated i will not get a refund. They are nice enough to not list the true contents of the box. I do buy from big places so they are not wild collected.
PLEASE DO NOT DO IT!!!
