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

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

The virtual card route gives you recourse and the transfer route gives you a lower price. Pick which you actually want.

Happy to hear I am overthinking it.

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?

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?
