An Post has held my parcel for 40 days with no scan. Is that normal for this route or should I start the process?

A card that works domestically can fail on an international merchant for dull, uninteresting, entirely legitimate reasons.

Would rather do this properly than quickly.

The published rule and the enforcement pattern are different documents. Only one of them affects you. Not on Japan Post but the pattern is familiar.

Three month limits are cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise. Side effects was my main issue with Japan Post too.

File early. The window is shorter than people think and it starts at the transaction.

Fees like that are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are hard to contest.

The cheapest option costs more once you price in the failure rate.

The declaration contradicting the return address is what gets it opened.

The sticker on the box is just so you know they were in there. It is the letter that matters.
