Yes this is what happened to me, as a receiver of a package in CA. I don't recall if they noted the amount of fines but fines were mentioned. The seller had not labeled the box. Whenever I ship, I write live harmless reptiles and on the bottom outside flap, I write the quantity and latin name of the species. I also include a paper on top of the inner foam liner with the same information. Better safe than sorry!
