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

Reading the statute rather than the summary changes the tone of everything you send back.

Correos scans are generated at the hub, so a silent tracking page is not evidence of a problem for the first 37 days.

Would rather do this properly than quickly.

Photograph everything before you open it. Ten seconds, settles most disputes.

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

“Dispatched” means the label was printed. That is the entire meaning of the word.

Fees like that are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are hard to contest. Same for me with Correos, unfortunately.

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

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?
