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

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

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

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

Australia Post scans are generated at the hub, so a silent tracking page is not evidence of a problem for the first 23 days.

Would rather do this properly than quickly.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

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

Written confirmation email after every phone call. Cheapest insurance there is.

File early. Tolerance was my main issue with a prepaid card too.

The sticker on the box is just so you know they were in there. It is the letter that matters. Currently on a prepaid card myself.

Three month limits are cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise. Three weeks in on a prepaid card and it lines up.
