Chicago customs snagged my alcohol.

It was shipped from Germany to the states. When I picked up the box, it yellow tape on it w/ the writings "customs inspected". They took 4 out of the five bottles in there and left me w/ the clothes and other stuff that was sent. The siezure notice came too stating what they took and It was against the law. Could me or the shipper be busted for this bull?
 
well...

..and this is just my opinion. seems that they would of busted u when u were there to pick it up you know . kind of "red handed". How ever and just to throw this at ya, maybe one of the customs guys new this company and took it for himself? make s ya think, huh?
 
To be able to help you more, I need to know what your state of residence is. The amount of alcohol you can import from abroad depends upon your state's laws. For your information, I got this information from the U.S. Customs service:
You will be required to pay duty on liquor that is imported in quantities greater than the exemptions allowed for each category of persons moving to the United States.

While there is no Federal limit to the amount of alcohol you may bring in, there will most likely be a state limit. This limit is determined by the state that your goods arrive in, not the state you are moving to.

Alcoholic beverages may not be imported into the U.S. by mail, nor can Customs release liquor in violation of the laws of the state where it is entered. As laws vary from state to state, this information may be obtained from state liquor authorities. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and the U.S. Customs Service have concurrent jurisdiction in the area of personal use importations of alcoholic beverages. As a practical matter, it is usually the U.S. Customs Service and the port director at the port of entry who decide whether or not a particular importation is, in fact, for personal use only. In certain circumstances, ATF may exercise joint jurisdiction with Customs in making this determination. In addition, other state, local or U.S. Customs requirements may apply. It should be noted that some states prohibit the direct shipment of alcoholic beverages to individuals. Anyone interested in importing alcohol for personal use should contact his or her state liquor control agency. If the alcohol is being imported for sale, you must have an ATF permit in advance of the goods arriving in port.

Households with personal wine cellars must remember that all alcohol over the amount eligible for duty-free treatment is dutiable at the applicable duty rate and that all Federal, state, and local taxes must be paid.

Finally, the determination of whether or not a shipment is for personal or commercial use cannot be decided solely on the size of the shipment, but must be determined on a case-by-case basis considering the circumstances surrounding the importation. However, the size of the shipment may give rise to questions resulting in the need for an investigation by Customs or the ATF. For further information contact:
