Got a letter from the customs office about a parcel from India. Reading it carefully before I do anything.
A written confirmation email after every phone call is the cheapest insurance there is.
Small, light and boring passes. Large, branded and interesting gets examined.
Any experience with the equivalent in another country would help.

The sticker on the box is just so you know they were in there. It is the letter that matters.

What do you do about the fee? Do you just pay it?

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

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?
