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

Customs handling fees are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are so hard to contest.

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

What is the thing you check first now?

How do I find the national register if I do not read the language? How long have you been on La Poste?

The declaration contradicting the return address is what gets it opened.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first? Six weeks in on La Poste and it lines up.

Check the register yourself rather than trusting the number printed on the site. Not on La Poste but the pattern is familiar.

Be careful reading one parcel as a rule. Two successes build a false model.

Written confirmation email after every phone call. Cheapest insurance there is.

Everyone is an expert until the first seizure letter.

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

Split the order.

A privacy service registered three months ago on a domain claiming twenty years of trading is a contradiction. Currently on La Poste myself.
