PHILADELPHIA CBP SEIZES KETAMINE, LSD IN MAIL FROM NETHERLANDS; SUMMER MAIL ROUTE CLUSTER EMERGES

CBP Philadelphia officers intercepted three mid‑August envelopes shipped from the Netherlands containing about a half pound of ketamine and 10 LSD doses, with destinations in Seattle, Las Vegas, and Wayne, MI. The release cites earlier summer seizures of 57 and 72 pounds of ketamine processed through the same port, indicating a seasonal uptick in mail‑based trafficking. CBP emphasized ongoing port‑of‑entry enforcement and the risks posed by these drugs.
