[Question] declared value — does under-declaring help or hurt
Asking properly rather than in a comment on somebody else’s thread: declared value — does under-declaring help or hurt.
Where a supplier holds regional stock, the shipment is domestic and there is no import event at all. That is the structural fix rather than a workaround.
Ordered from the warehouse in Canada and the whole import question disappeared. 9 days, domestic, no notice, nothing to manage.
Got a request for information and treated it as a seizure for two days before actually reading it. It was neither dramatic nor difficult.
Would rather be corrected in public than confident in private.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Nothing on this board is legal advice. Where a notice carries a deadline or a consequence, that is a matter for somebody qualified in your own jurisdiction.
Right, and clearance time is not carrier time. Blaming the shipper for a customs queue is a category error.

That delay was at clearance, not with the carrier. The lane table separates them for exactly this reason.
Kept every document including the dull ones. When a process started, having the dates in order made it short.

milos_mensa is right that regional stock is the structural answer rather than a trick.
the rules differ between neighbouring countries and change by year
personal import rules are not the same as commercial import rules
What documentation accompanied the shipment?
Pointing this one at somebody qualified locally. Nothing on this board is legal advice.
I would not read a single clearance experience as a rule. Sample size one, and customs is not deterministic.
most delays are administrative rather than substantive
