(Chicago, IL) – A package being shipped to Iowa from the Netherlands, was found to have two human skills inside. The package was intercepted March 29th, after x-rays showed anomalies inside. U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agriculture Specialists (CBPAS) at the International Mail Facility (IMF) at O’Hare International Airport inspected the parcel and found two skulls. Authorities say it was the first of three shipments coming from the same sender (six skulls total). It’s not clear what the skulls were intended for.

Each package had two skulls a piece for a total of six. The skulls were referred to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for further disposition. Officials say to-date, CBPAS have intercepted 1,667 agriculture shipments containing prohibited items to include live moss bathmats, live snails, and human skulls. The most common items CBPAS have seized are pork and beef sausages, plants, plant materials, seeds for planting, and live snails. These shipments may spike during the holidays and during certain seasons.
