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

The three month rule is cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise.

The reference number on the letter is the only way anyone will find the file again, so it goes in the subject line of everything.

Small, light and boring passes. Large, branded and interesting gets examined.

Anyone know the actual process rather than the folklore?

File early. How long have you been on a virtual card?

The published rule and the enforcement pattern are different documents. Only one of them affects you.

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

“Dispatched” means the label was printed. That is the entire meaning of the word. How long have you been on a virtual card?

Customs outcomes are not rulings. A parcel passing is not legal advice.
