really IMPORTANT!
No. Dog sniffing would be far to slow to process all the mail that comes through US borders. Customs generally use x-rays to scan packages, which have a very hard time detecting vacuum-sealed weed wrapped in several layers of paper - paper and cured weed have roughly the same density. Dogs are occasionally used to spot-check, however, and so some packages are seized. Vacuum-sealing greatly reduces the chance of detection. Even when shipments are found, the normal response by Customs is to remove the contraband contents, insert a Notice of Seizure describing what was seized and why, and green-tape the package closed again and send it on its way, minus the contraband. It's very difficult to prosecute for receiving in the mail, since proving intent - a necessary element in criminal prosecution ( the legal term is mens rea - "guilty mind") - is nearly impossible, especially if you take steps to distance yourself from the package: use your real name and address (otherwise you might never get it), BUT slightly misspell this information. Also, as soon as you get it, write "Return To Sender" on it, and set it aside for a while. This gives you plausible deniability in the rare event that law enforcement comes around. You can just tell them "I don't know what is in it, it looks suspicious, so I'm sending it back, see? You want it, you can have it."
