X rays when shipping film?

[Huss]

Say one bought film in Canada by mail order, to be shipped to the US.
Would it get xrayed by customs etc? The kind that wrecks film i.e. like at the airport when they tell u not to put film in checked in luggage? (only carry on)

Thanks!

I've had film shipped from Japan and Germany to the UK and never had any problems. I've also put hundreds of rolls of film through hand luggage x-ray machines, multiple times per roll, and never had a problem.

Thanks. But I'm wondering if it is different coming into the USA.

I just got some film (10 rolls) from the UK via airmail with no problem. I found that one box (of one roll) was open, I guess by Customs.

USPS will not X-ray your package.
