Gene,
I would consider this one a loss. I wouldnt think any notification of confiscation would go to the shipper from customs, unless the government decided to take him to court for attempting to illegally exporting banned items. Of course, in that case, his notification would come from the police, not customs.... "Be patient" in Soviet speak is like the "check is in the mail" to us--not a good sign after 6+ months.
