I have read that seized packages from overseas can result in losing global entry privileges. Wondering if this has actually happened to anyone?
Has anyone actually had Global Entry revoked?

I just asked someone on Telegram who has Global Entry/TSA Pre, and is a big China Grey buyer, that same question. He said he’s had some big packages (30+ kits) seized five times, and while he gets the seizure notice it hasn’t impacted his airport security clearance.krsct said:
I was shocked and skeptical.

Thanks for asking this question. I’ve been wondering this myself and if the accounts of suspended clearance are largely urban legends. When I first read claims that this could happen, it totally freaked me out. But I think if it happened with any regularity, we’d hear more about it here.
Everyone's has due to the DHS not being funded due to congress
It has and it's usually very difficult to get back, like needing to a hire lawyer.krsct said:
It can for buying fake goods etc.
Got my first custom interference .
So I decided to try my second vendor and choose APS( Andy's) customs. I saw that the package got sent back due to customs. They explained there was another package in the freight that had a prohibited item and they already have my order being rerouted. I've heard the custom horror story's of...

I haven't had any problems, but I did read on the CBP website that you are responsible for anything being shipped to you and could potentially have Global Entry revoked. But then you could just get TSA Precheck on its own and use the MPC app to get through customs more quickly.
I had mine revoked in December. Had 3 or 4 Indian packages seized. Nothing from China has been seized, but I've made several orders from China.
I turned around and got TSA Precheck and used the MPC line on my last international trip and beat my wife through the Global Entry line. I did appeal, but have not received a response. I only got to use GE once and it got canceled dang near a year to the day of receiving it. My last seized package was Azelastine allergy nose spray which is sold over the counter in the US. I can get it for $6 a bottle in India vs $15-20 in the US.

Why leave the country anyway when all the drugs come here, haha.
Not true. DHS reversed itself on shutting down TSA Precheck and Global Entry almost immediately after making the original announcement.CNCCurrency said:

Thanks so much for this data point, hugely helpful to know that it's not an urban legend and sorry this happened to you. I was actually thinking of buying some stuff from India, but changed my mind on that.
When you say that you turned around and got TSA Precheck, did they cancel your Precheck when they cancelled your GE? Did you have to reapply, because Precheck comes with GE.
I take a few international trips each year, all out of JFK, and there is never everyone in GE. On my last trip, I was traveling with a work group and some people booked row 1,000 so we all waited for the last of us to disembark. Needless to say, the line was huge when we finally arrived at immigration. But we all went on our phone and did MPC and breezed through. I didn't have the heart to dessert them all, so I looked longingly over at GE.
My husband can't get GE because of some stupid shit he did as a teen, but he was approved for TSA Precheck. We've traveled abroad twice since then. The first time he got through MPC about 10 minutes faster than it took me to go through GE. The second time, we got through at about the same time.tul9033 said:

MPC is pretty sweet. I don't travel internationally that much, so if I lost GE, it wouldn't be the end of the world, but if I lost Precheck, it would be devastating. I probably fly domestic 80 times a year. Good to know that they handle GE and Precheck as separate beasts.
Thats why i vacation in Nebraska.... screw real id too.... we drive through cornfields and pretend were in Children of The Corn.Calm Logic said:

Yup, that's what smart people do, just get GE....
Honestly don't remember why I signed up for TSAPC first. Maybe I didn't think I'd be doing that much international travel.
