Reading the import rules for Greece and there is a big gap between what is published and what people report.

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

Curious what other people do differently here.

“Registered with” is doing an enormous amount of work in that sentence. How long have you been on a chargeback?

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

Three month limits are cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise. Two years in on a chargeback and it lines up.

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

Photograph everything before you open it. Ten seconds, settles most disputes.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?
