Got a letter from the customs office about a parcel from Turkey. Reading it carefully before I do anything.

Reading the statute rather than the summary changes the tone of everything you send back.

A card that works domestically can fail on an international merchant for dull, uninteresting, entirely legitimate reasons.

Customs handling fees are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are so hard to contest.

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

Anyone had this route work recently, or is it closed for now?

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first? Tolerance was my main issue with a flagged address too.
