hazmat fees

If a supplier sends and charges me for a package of smokeless powder that I do not want can't I refuse to accept that package from the post office?

I heard that you can't return an item covered with hazmat fees.

That is correct. HAZMAT fees are one way. You cannot send the package back to the supplier unless you pay for another fee and have the proper certifications/licenses to send it back.

However ... I wasn't aware that the US Postal Service allowed powder for shipping. I thought their 'sniffers' would catch it and reject it. I could be wrong, but that's what I heard.

If you get powder from the post office, the sender could be in some serious trouble if they found out about it. Federal offense.
