Got a letter from the customs office about a parcel from Australia. Reading it carefully before I do anything.
What I have learned is that the 25 day mark is the point to start the process, not the point to panic.
Filing the paperwork early is worth more than arguing later about whose fault it was.
The published rule and the enforcement pattern are different documents and only one of them affects your parcel.
Interested in the boring correct answer.
File early. The window is shorter than people think and it starts at the transaction.
Everyone is an expert until the first seizure letter.
Same here.
Three month limits are cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise.
Written confirmation email after every phone call. Cheapest insurance there is. Same for me with the customs office, unfortunately.
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.
Split the order.
What do you do about the fee? Do you just pay it? Five years in on the customs office and it lines up.
How do I find the national register if I do not read the language?
Photograph everything.
Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first? Currently on the customs office myself.
