Topic starter   [#7401]

Got a letter from the customs office about a parcel from Spain. Reading it carefully before I do anything. Customs handling fees are charged by the carrier, not the state, which is why they are so hard to contest.

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

“Dispatched” means the label was printed. That is the entire meaning of the word.

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

The sticker on the box is just so you know they were in there. It is the letter that matters.

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

File early. The window is shorter than people think and it starts at the transaction.

The declaration contradicting the return address is what gets it opened. Same for me with the United States, unfortunately.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?
