Got a letter from the customs office about a parcel from Japan. 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.
Filing the paperwork early is worth more than arguing later about whose fault it was.
What is the thing you check first now?

The sticker on the box is just so you know they were in there. It is the letter that matters. Five years in on the UAE and it lines up.

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

File early.
