The finance minister is questioning on what grounds a courier company issued a statement indicating that adult toys are banned from being imported.
He says the law does not mention adult toys.

if imbert doesn't know what an adult toy is...
thats like a banker asking what isan amortized payment....a mechanic asking about an injector....a doctor asking whats a migraine......
clearly this man not fit to lead / guide a ministry that falls under his purview. please step down and let someone else do the job you obviously cannot perform.
save yourself the embarrassment.

You misunderstand completely. Imbert isnt saying that adult toys do not exist. He is arguing that adult toys have zero legal definition.
We know that nobody like Imbert, but at least give me man a lil props when he do the proper thing for once.

Someone at swissport told me a few years ago they got a shipment stopped for ammunition and since then, they got banned from shipping any airgun acessories (scopes/pellets, etc) and small restricted, which they used to ship before or let pass.
Even amazon recognises their miami warehouse as a restricted address.
If you try to ship any gun related items, amazom shows it as a restricted zone for delivery.
So, seeing that is they who sent the initial alert, they probably get busted again for some thing.

i understood what his argument was trying to do.
what he is in fact doing is taking the laws ambiguity and lack of clear concise definition of "what is" and "what is not" allowed and using it as a scape goat for the issue...
cause it not explicitly listed as allowed - it should be banned.?
cause of some old descriptive law that hasnt been updated in 30+ yrs says lwed and suggestive - it should be banned.
give jack his jacket.. the lawis old and outdated....needs to be fixed.
so then a ps3 controller outfitted with hot pink camo design should be sized as well - not so.??
after all we do not want it confused with TTDF regimental issue of uniforms.
remind me again how does the tint law work again ???
unless those in office seek to revamp out old stale dated laws we will forever be backward....feel free to vote how u like in 2 yrs time.

And as for restricted zone...

Fyi, other skyboxes can still ship it to trinidad, customs will seize it upon entry and you can go with your permit and collect it.
Sex doll seized by Customs
Judge grants e-commerce consultant leave to challenge decision
Jada Loutoo
AN e-commerce consultant is suing the Comptroller of Customs after a sex doll he tried to import was seized by customs officials in December.
The man, from Chaguanas, has received the permission of a high court judge to challenge the seizure and on Friday, Justice Ricky Rahim granted him leave to apply for judicial review.
The consultant has asked that his name not be used, but in his lawsuit, he said he imported the plastic mannequin on December 28.
It arrived in TT but was told by customs it was being detained as it was considered to be in breach of section 45 (1) (L) of the Customs Act Chapter 78:01.
He said a notice of seizure was issued to him pursuant to section 220 of the Customs Act, which said the item was seized because it was deemed to be a prohibited item “namely an indecent/obscene article” contrary to section 45 (1) of the Act.
The law, Chapter 78:01, Section 45 (l) of the Customs Act, state, however, among other things, it is prohibited to import “indecent or obscene prints, paintings and photographs, books cards, lithographic and other engravings, gramophone records or any other indecent or obscene articles or matter.
The consultant, who is represented by attorneys Jagdeo Singh, Dinesh Rambally, Kiel Taklalsingh, Stefan Ramkissoon and Kavita Roop-Boodoo, said he was told in February, that the comptroller was obligated to institute forfeiture proceedings since the notice of seizure had been issued.
His lawsuit also said his attorneys asserted that based on a related matter, the Customs and Excise Division had adopted a policy that any item resembling male or female genitalia would be prohibited as it would be considered indecent and/ or obscene.
He said before he imported the mannequin, he searched the division’s website and found no policy or guidance in relation to the importation of such items.
His lawsuit intends to challenge the decision by the comptroller to classify items like the mannequin “as obscene and/ or indecent and therefore prohibited,” and that the continued detention of the item is unlawful.
He also wants the mannequin to be returned to him and compensation.
In August, sexologist Dr Raj Ramnanan challenged a similar decision to seize sex toys he had imported.
His lawsuit said there was no legal basis for a ban on sex toys, and came after local courier companies began informing their customers that a list of items, including adult toys, are illegal to import and will be seized by the Customs and Excise Division if they are imported.
Ramnanan owns and operates Total Image, a clinic that treats with sexual dysfunctions and issues, where he also sells sex toys.
His lawsuit also seeks answers from the comptroller on if there is a complete ban on adult toys, what provision of law the division was relying on to impose any ban, the policy in place to guide custom officers of what items are considered to be obscene or indecent, and who are the offices who have “decided to impose their opinions on the entire society by deeming adult toys as indecent or obscene.”
