[Question] Canada — has anyone got a straight answer on seizure
Trying to get a straight answer on this: Canada — has anyone got a straight answer on seizure.
Asked the supplier what documentation travels with the shipment and got a straight answer. That was reassuring in itself.
Clearance took four days and the carrier took eleven. I had been blaming entirely the wrong stage for a year.
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
Import rules are national and they distinguish between personal and commercial import, with different thresholds, documentation and consequences. A general answer is almost always wrong somewhere.
How long has it been sitting, and at which stage?
Kept every document including the dull ones. When a process started, having the dates in order made it short.
Pointing this one at somebody qualified locally. Nothing on this board is legal advice.
regional stock removes the question entirely
The rules where I live changed between two orders six months apart. Nothing was announced; I found out by reading.
do not post your own address details when asking
Declared value and product description are chosen by the shipper. Asking what they use is a legitimate pre-order question and the answer tells you how routine this is for them.
Total transit includes a clearance stage that is not under the carrier’s control. Separating clearance time from carrier time is the first step in diagnosing any delay.
Agreed on asking what documentation accompanies a shipment. Suppliers who ship regionally usually have a clear answer.
Yes. Nothing here is legal advice and the good posts on this board say so themselves.
Posted a question here with my address in the screenshot. A mod removed it within minutes, which I appreciated.
