PostNL has held my parcel for 37 days with no scan. Is that normal for this route or should I start the process?
PostNL scans are generated at the hub, so a silent tracking page is not evidence of a problem for the first 37 days.
What changed my experience was splitting orders rather than ordering larger and less often.
Mostly posting so the next person has something to search.

Same here.
Photograph everything.
How do I find the national register if I do not read the language?
What do you do about the fee? Do you just pay it?
Photograph everything.

The sticker on the box is just so you know they were in there. It is the letter that matters.
Split the order. How long have you been on the customs office?
