Looks like someone’s in hot water! @CBP officers intercepted a parcel labeled 'Bubble Bath' and discovered 12 lbs. of Gamma-Butyrolactone (GBL), a regulated chemical under the Controlled Substances Act. The #NYFO CBP is scrubbing dangerous drugs out of our communities!

This seizure was a real slam dunk! @CBP officers, at the JFK International Mail Facility, intercepted a parcel from Spain manifested as 'Basketball' and discovered 22 lbs. of ketamine hidden inside. Smuggling attempts like these won’t score past CBP’s defense!
