Got a letter from the customs office about a parcel from Italy. Reading it carefully before I do anything.
Tracked and signed-for is a different product to tracked, and the price difference is smaller than the anxiety difference.
FedEx scans are generated at the hub, so a silent tracking page is not evidence of a problem for the first 28 days.
Declarations that contradict the return address are the ones that get opened.
Has the handling changed recently for anyone else?
Customs outcomes are not rulings. A parcel passing is not legal advice.
No referral links. Shortened links and tracking parameters are the usual offenders.
Split the order.
How do I find the national register if I do not read the language?
Silent tracking in the first week is normal. Scanning happens at hubs, not continuously.
File early. The window is shorter than people think and it starts at the transaction.
Everyone is an expert until the first seizure letter.
Split orders. Two small parcels beat one large one for reasons that have nothing to do with price.
Photograph everything.
What do you do about the fee? Do you just pay it?
