I need to know how to make a complaint to usa customs against the british customs for holding a package?

Answer 1

What does US Customs have to do with it?

If the British Customs is holding the package it is because there is a problem with it according to their laws/regulations.

Complain to them.  BTW, what was in the package?

I do not think U.S. costumes can or  will do anything about it.

Why bother?

Travelers face tighter security and longer lines because of new airport rules in the USA and UK after a plot to blow up airliners bound for the USA was uncovered. With a busy travel weekend ahead, here's what you need to know:

Q: What can't I pack in my carry-on bag?

A: The new rules ban almost all liquids, creams and gels from being carried aboard flights. That means you should not pack sunscreen, lotion, shampoo, toothpaste, hair gel or beverages in a carry-on. Those items must be put in your checked bags. If you are in doubt about an item, pack it in a checked bag or leave it home.

Despite some rumors — and an incorrect early post on American Airlines' website Thursday — there are no new restrictions on laptops, cellphones or other electronics on any flight originating in the USA.

Q: Are the rules different in the United Kingdom?

A: If you're on a flight leaving the United Kingdom, there are more restrictions: You will need to check all your luggage — that means no carry-ons whatsoever — and every passenger will be hand-searched at security checkpoints. Only a few personal items, such as pocket-size wallets and purses, glasses (but not cases), medications, diapers and female sanitary items (unboxed), and essential travel documents are permitted. A bag used to carry those items must be plastic, "ideally transparent." On flights to the USA, passengers will be searched again at the gate before they board.

Q: Do the stricter rules in the UK also apply to flights from the USA to the UK?

A: No, only to flights leaving from the UK. However, passengers connecting through the UK should remember that the stricter rules will apply to their flights leaving the UK.

Q: Are there any exceptions to the new rules in the USA?

A: A few. You can still bring baby formula, breast milk or juice if you're traveling with a child; prescription drugs if your name is on the bottle; and insulin or other "essential" non-prescription medications. Screeners should not make you sample the liquids.

Q: Can I still bring medicine along if it's not in liquid form? What about bars of soap?

A: Yes, it is OK to put those in a carry-on bag.

Q: If I forget to remove liquids or gels from my bags before I get to the security checkpoint, what will happen?

A: Screeners will ask you to put them in a checked bag or give them to someone who isn't traveling. Otherwise they will be confiscated.

Q: Am I allowed to purchase toothpaste, drinks or other liquids after I get through security and then take them aboard the flight?

A: No. You are not allowed to carry aboard any liquid, no matter when or where you purchased it.

Q: Why can I put liquids and gels in a checked bag but not carry them aboard?

A: Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Amy Von Walter said authorities are concerned that liquids could be one part of a bomb, not necessarily a fully assembled explosive. If those parts were in carry-on bags, someone could put the bomb together in flight; if they were in the cargo hold, he couldn't.

Q: Besides the ban on liquids and gels, what else will be different about security?

A: The TSA said screeners will be checking passengers more thoroughly at checkpoints, including inspecting more bags by hand. They also will be searching some passengers a second time immediately before boarding — a practice instituted shortly after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks but discontinued several years ago.

Q: Will I have to wait longer in lines?

A: Most likely. The government generally advises that you get to the airport at least two hours before your flight. But with tougher searches, authorities said, you should check with your airline. United and Continental, for example, are advising passengers to arrive three hours ahead for both domestic and international flights.

Q: How long will these new rules last?

A: That's not clear. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the rules would be "constantly evaluated and updated when circumstances warrant." Chicago Aviation Commissioner Nuria Fernandez said the tighter restrictions will remain in place for at least 12 to 72 hours.

Q: Are other countries or airlines banning liquids in carry-on luggage?

A: Yes. Canada has banned gels and liquids from carry-on bags on all flights. The new restrictions also apply to all flights entering the USA and to flights from France to the UK, USA and Israel.

Q: Since I can't take a carry-on bag from the UK, will I have to pay to check excess luggage?

A. Most airlines are waiving the fees for excess baggage; for example, American now allows up to two excess pieces.

Q: Do airport screening machines pick up liquid explosives?

A: Most screening machines for checked bags aren't designed to pick up liquid explosives, says explosives expert Jimmie Oxley of the University of Rhode Island. But they could be adjusted to pick up many common ones.
