Topic starter   [#31470]

Got a letter from the customs office about a parcel from Georgia. Reading it carefully before I do anything.

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

Small, light and boring passes. Large, branded and interesting gets examined.

The three month rule is cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise.

Declarations that contradict the return address are the ones that get opened.

What is the thing you check first now?

Same here.

Same for me with Japan Post, unfortunately.

Everyone is an expert until the first seizure letter.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

Split the order.

The address matters more than the contents eventually. Changing what you order when the address is flagged changes nothing.

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

“Registered with” is doing an enormous amount of work in that sentence.

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

How do I find the national register if I do not read the language?
