Got a letter from the customs office about a parcel from Germany. Reading it carefully before I do anything.
The address matters more than the contents after a while, and nobody warns you about that.
Reading the statute rather than the summary changes the tone of everything you send back.
Would rather do this properly than quickly.
Everyone is an expert until the first seizure letter.
Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?
How do I find the national register if I do not read the language?
Split orders. Two small parcels beat one large one for reasons that have nothing to do with price.
Split the order.
What do you do about the fee? Do you just pay it?
Photograph everything before you open it. Ten seconds, settles most disputes.
Split the order.
The declaration contradicting the return address is what gets it opened.
File early. The window is shorter than people think and it starts at the transaction.
What do you do about the fee? Do you just pay it? How long have you been on Japan Post?
Fees like that are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are hard to contest.
File early.
Same here.
