This might be best answered by /u/misteryouaresodumb but I thought I'd post the question because it might be useful for others who are curious.
Is it true that $150k worth of supplies have been lost and rejected? And there's $500k currently in limbo? And certain supplies like bottles could end up arriving in a year from purchase?
I'm wondering what sort of risk this poses for Nootropics Depot?
Are there any details regarding what has caused customs to clamp down so tightly? Is there a foreseen date of when things will loosen up or is this probably going to persist under the current administration?
I'm just curious about the details around this\\these issues.

US Customs started inspecting EVERY SINGLE PACKAGE coming into the country starting around December 20th. We've had some things take over 100 days to clear customs. I think our polygala has been with the FDA since December, and it was just released TODAY!!!
What the hell's up with that? Ridiculous timing, too.

We can only speculate. Our thought is that Trump was diverting funds from customs to fund the border wall, then Biden cancelled that with that executive order he signed. I believe this resulted in the funding that they were being deprived of for a while flooding back in. Then they decided to specifically target certain classes of imports for a while. I am hoping it is a short-term thing.
