International shipping tracking for cross-border ordering orders: my experience with customs in the US when ordering from overseas: Package cleared…

I read this differently from labquiet_amy, on substance rather than tone. Import rules are jurisdiction-specific and this board keeps giving US-shaped answers to non-US questions. What is a personal-import allowance in one country is a controlled-import offence in another.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. Say what you would expect to see if you were wrong, before you look. It is a small discipline and it changes what you notice.

Adding the part of the answer the thread has not reached. The useful move here is to separate what is established from what is widely repeated. Those two sets overlap less than the confident tone of most write-ups suggests, and the second set is where nearly all the disagreement on this board comes from.

One thing that is still open after pete_RVA’s answer:

How long did you give it before you decided it was working?

Reporting back.

Coming back a few months on. It held. Nothing dramatic to report, which is the report.
