What happens if a package is seized?

If a CA Post package is seized while passing through US customs, how will I know and what will happen? I've had a small package sitting in ICS for three days, much longer than any previous pack.

Should I expect to just lose the package, or have my door kicked in? Also, will the tracking ever update to give indication of seizure?

Any help or info would be great. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE 3/25: Pack started moving, but I'm probably going to refuse delivery or trash the package to stay safe and avoid an electronically-triggered controlled delivery. Totally paranoid I'm sure, but better safe than sorry I guess.

Why do you people think because once or twice your customs package passed through in one day that that somehow seems to be the norm? The total packages coming into customs is more than you can imagine. You're being quite unreasonable here. Any of my packages that go through customs have been 3 days minimum and sometimes 10+ days. You should hear the horror stories of it taking even longer. Take some Xanax and calm down.

If the package still has a status of arrived at customs after a month it is most likely seized. You may or may not get a letter informing you of the seizure and your possible options, though it doesn't always happen. If no letter arrives, assume your mail may be being profiled in an attempt by the state to build a case against you. In this instance overview your entire shipping procedure and ensure any and every loose end has been managed. Change drop locations, receiver name, etc. Wait a little while before another order and make a decision to continue undeterred or not.
