[Seizure] third one in two years. the pattern is the carrier, not the country.
Thinking out loud about this: third one in two years. the pattern is the carrier, not the country.
Why this board insists on a country in the title.
Import rules are national. Personal and commercial import are treated differently, thresholds and documentation vary, and the rules change — several members here have had the position change between two orders six months apart, with no announcement.
The result is that a confident answer from somebody in a different jurisdiction is not merely unhelpful, it is actively misleading, and it gets quoted back for years. Say where you are and where it shipped from. Everything useful in this board follows from those two facts, and nothing useful precedes them.
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.
A hold, a request for information and a seizure are distinct administrative events. Each has its own process and deadlines, and the notice itself states which one you have.
I will update this if the picture changes rather than quietly leaving it up.
best — the order this archive was captured in
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.
What does the notice actually say, in its own words?
declared value and description are the shipper’s decisions, ask what they use

Agreed — read the notice before deciding what has happened. Most of the panic here is misclassification.
Which country, and which country did it ship from?
clearance time is not carrier time
jurisdiction first, everything else is downstream

throwaway_9182 is right that regional stock is the structural answer rather than a trick.
jurisdiction first, everything else is downstream
Adding the standing caveat — nothing here is legal advice and this one genuinely warrants somebody qualified.
Address redacted from the screenshot above. Post the wording of the notice, never the header.
Correcting myself upthread: the guidance I quoted was superseded last year.

This is why every thread here has to start with a country.
ask the supplier what documentation accompanies the shipment
