Question about Canada: what does it actually look like when it is done properly, and what should I be checking?

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

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

Curious what other people do differently here.

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

Do you contact the customs office or the carrier first?

Three month limits are cumulative across parcels in more places than people realise.

Written confirmation email after every phone call. Cheapest insurance there is.

The declaration contradicting the return address is what gets it opened.

“Registered with” is doing an enormous amount of work in that sentence.
