jurisdiction — 24 things I got wrong before I got it right
Something I keep coming back to: jurisdiction — 24 things I got wrong before I got it right. Asked somebody qualified locally rather than relying on this board. Best forty minutes I have spent on the topic. Why this board insists on a country in the title. Import rules are national. Personal and commercial import are…

Asked the supplier what documentation travels with the shipment and got a straight answer. That was reassuring in itself.
Yes — a hold and a seizure are different events with different processes, and this board mixes them weekly.
