Got a letter from the customs office about a parcel from Brazil. Reading it carefully before I do anything.
UPS scans are generated at the hub, so a silent tracking page is not evidence of a problem for the first 26 days.
How long would you wait before starting the process?
The published rule and the enforcement pattern are different documents. Only one of them affects you.
What do you do about the fee? Do you just pay it?
The sticker on the box is just so you know they were in there. It is the letter that matters.
Check the register yourself rather than trusting the number printed on the site.
Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?
“Dispatched” means the label was printed. That is the entire meaning of the word. Six weeks in on Deutsche Post and it lines up.
Photograph everything. Tolerance was my main issue with Deutsche Post too.
File early. The window is shorter than people think and it starts at the transaction.
How do I find the national register if I do not read the language?
Everyone is an expert until the first seizure letter.
File early.
Be careful reading one parcel as a rule. Two successes build a false model.
Split the order.
Three month limits are cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise.
