Quoted from the following:

U.S. officials have seized a record 500,000 ecstasy pills in August near the Michigan-Ontario border. On August 1, U.S. Customs officials discovered 94,000 ecstasy tablets in a car driven by a Windsor man entering the United States through the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel was found to have. On August 12, U.S. Customs officers intercepted 62 pounds of ecstasy entering the country by ferry from Walpole Island, the largest such seizure ever at the Canada-U.S. border. A vehicle entering the U.S. on the Algonac ferry was referred to secondary inspection by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers. The driver, a Canadian citizen, and her passenger told the customs officer they had nothing to declare. As officers conducted a secondary inspection they noticed an alteration of a cushion in the rear seat of the car. Further examination of the seat revealed about 204,000 yellow ecstasy tablets hidden inside several large bags. This was the single largest seizure of ecstasy to date on the U.S.-Canada border. Assistant U.S. Attorney Karl Overman said Canada is the major supplier of the illegal drug to the United States.
I think most of the pills are being made in your own backyard now. The "straight from Amsterdam" stuff is probably hogwash. I would also like to point out that there is little if no production in the U.S. so Europe has been the major supplier to the U.S. historically (maybe not now as pointed out by the article). If Europe has been the main supplier to the U.S. in years past, then www.ecstasydata.org clearly shows that quality can vary wildly. Even though Amsterdam may send their good stuff to other parts Europe because the stuff is closer to the source and maybe under greater scrutiny from local governments, it doesn't mean they won't make crap to send to the U.S. because there is greater risk (that it won't make it) and they want to reduce their costs to maximize profit.
