Drug sellers exploit the Postal Service to ship fentanyl to US

1/24/18 – Sellers of illicit fentanyl in China prefer to ship through the U.S. Postal Service because delivery is “basically guaranteed,” according to a new Congressional investigation.

An explosion of fentanyl and opioid use in the United States in recent years has led to a staggering number of overdose-related deaths.

The nearly-year long, bipartisan investigation found that drug traffickers “easily” ship fentanyl and other synthetic drugs from China to the U.S., using the international arm of the Postal Service to avoid detection and interdiction by customs authorities. ABC News
