Ordered from Singapore for the first time and the virtual card payment triggered every fraud check the bank has.

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

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

A written confirmation email after every phone call is the cheapest insurance there is.

Curious what other people do differently here.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

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

Split orders. Two small parcels beat one large one for reasons that have nothing to do with price.

Customs outcomes are not rulings. A parcel passing is not legal advice. How long have you been on a 3-D Secure prompt?
