An Post has held my parcel for 3 days with no scan. Is that normal for this route or should I start the process?

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

A written confirmation email after every phone call is the cheapest insurance there is.

Photograph everything before you open it. It takes ten seconds and settles most disputes.

Any experience with the equivalent in another country would help.

Check the register yourself rather than trusting the number printed on the site.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first? Five years in on a customs letter and it lines up.

How do I find the national register if I do not read the language?

Split the order. Not on a customs letter but the pattern is familiar.

The cheapest option costs more once you price in the failure rate.

Fees like that are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are hard to contest.

File early. The window is shorter than people think and it starts at the transaction.
