Got a letter from the customs office about a parcel from New Zealand. Reading it carefully before I do anything.
The address matters more than the contents after a while, and nobody warns you about that.
Small, light and boring passes. Large, branded and interesting gets examined.
What is the thing you check first now?
Split orders. Two small parcels beat one large one for reasons that have nothing to do with price.
How do I find the national register if I do not read the language? Same for me with La Poste, unfortunately.
Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?
Reminder that a tracking number is not required in the post, but the dates and the carrier are.
The declaration contradicting the return address is what gets it opened.
How do I find the national register if I do not read the language?
Check the register yourself rather than trusting the number printed on the site.
