Officials say the gallon jugs were filled with gamma Butyrolactone and gamma-hydroxybutyric acid . The GBL arrived in liquid form in two separate shipments, both of which arrived from France and were destined to an address in Hillsborough County, Florida. Inside each shipment was a single clear plastic jug filled with an opaque liquid. Officers say they used a handheld elemental isotope analysis tool that identified the liquid, which the DEA lists as a schedule 1 controlled substance.
"Customs and Border Protection will continue to use our border security authority to search suspect international parcels and intercept dangerous products that could seriously harm American citizens. This is a mission and responsibility that we take very seriously," said Rene Ortega, Acting Area Port Director for CBP’s Area Port of Philadelphia.
