Held by Customs.. I think

So I tried to post this earlier but had an error when I clicked the button to post it. So here is hoping for better luck.
So I ordered a research chemical product, marketed as plant food and is not scheduled in the US nor by any local laws in my area. After multiple delays it finally shipped. The tracking number shows it to have arrived in New York over a week ago and it hasn't moved since then according to the tracking info.
Do I have any reason for concern? Is there anything I can do?
I think if nothing else I may buy a watering pale and some more house plants.

if you are using usps it should let you know if its in customs. a week is a pretty long time, regardless.

I have no idea how it's labeled. Their website only says "discreetly packaged".
Yes, it is being shipped USPS. Should it tell me specifically on the tracking page if it is in customs control? Or will they tell me only if customs has taken it?
Also, do I need to be concerned? Is there any safeguards I should take?

It's my understanding you incriminate yourself if you head down to the post office to "sign some documents" or "just to pick up your package". If they call, don't go.

I'm assuming what was purchased was most likely Mephedrone.
Right now, Mephedrone is under the radar pretty hot... It was recently banned in the UK, to my knowledge, or is in the process of being banned.
Essentially, no, you do not have any reason for concern as long as you stick with the story of it being used as plant food, not some sort of "legal" high. Considering the substance in question is not scheduled, and in a general "grey" area of legality, you may get the package, and then you also may not... But, I know for certain, you will not get any sort of "case" in court because of it. They might hold it for a while to figure out exactly what the product is, if it's not labeled, or not labeled correctly, and then ship it to you once it gets the OK that its not cocaine or some other illegal "powdered" substance. This could take time, hence why its still sitting in New York.
What you can do is call the USPS office and talk to them about it. You're not doing anything illegal, because again, its plant food, right?
If you don't mind me asking, is it an extremely "large" amount of the product you ordered? This might be a bit of a red flag, if so, and another source of your wait. Ultimately, what you're worried about is legal trouble, and I would say you don't need to worry about it. The worst that may happen is you'll get a little letter saying that the parcel you imported was seized and if you would like to claim it you will have to deal with customs etc (and this is something you don't want to bother with.) Consider it a loss if this happens, and see if the company you ordered from is legitimate enough to offer a refund.
Good luck, hope you can boost your plants soon!
Just relax while they take a look at things. Ultimately, I'm pretty sure you'll get your parcel no problem. Update us, please! I'm interested.

It can take 3-4 weeks from door to door from my experience and customs takes a lot of that time. You will most likely either receive it or get the letter saying to call if you want your suspicious package (Don't call LOL).
I wouldn't be worrying until a month after order.

Ok so I have good news and bad news... The package is not here yet and won't be for a while longer. The good news is that they returned it for being improperly addressed and was not a customs issue.
Yes it is a pack of meow meow. I ordered 25 grams... which I know to a lot of people is nothing, but to me that's quite a bit.
I am unfortunately aware of the bans occurring in various places. I know this can have horrifying side affects if not done in moderation. I am just really hoping to have one last round of it before it is no more in the US.
Thanks for all the help!
