Got a letter from the customs office about a parcel from Germany. Reading it carefully before I do anything.
A card that works domestically can fail on an international merchant for dull, uninteresting, entirely legitimate reasons.
The returns address and the contact address are often different and only one of them is a real building.
The three month rule is cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise.
Curious what other people do differently here.
File early. The window is shorter than people think and it starts at the transaction.
The sticker on the box is just so you know they were in there. It is the letter that matters.
Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?
Customs outcomes are not rulings. A parcel passing is not legal advice.
The cheapest option costs more once you price in the failure rate.
File early.
“Registered with” is doing an enormous amount of work in that sentence. Same for me with An Post, unfortunately.
