Strange... My post-app says I have to pay $25 clearance costs for the import of goods into the European Union... Thats new to me. How do customs know what's in my mail? I hope they don't know what's in there.

Anyone had this before? Mail is from Indian vendor

 
thats weird, you gotta pay another fee to someone else just for them to deliver mail into your country? maybe with all those terror alerts some new thing? 

 
I'm also from Europe , have never heard from this.

Mostly i order from a Philippine vendor who not send as packing but as letter never have any problem.

 
Please do not describe your packaging if you want to continue to get them.  Always assume LE is going to be reading your post.

 
maybe its being delivered by a 3rd party carrier that picked up the package that is probably outsourced by your regular mail company to deliver foreign mail? 

 
Well, my vendor says it's very strange. He has never had that.

But, it's the law. Because I import 'goods' into the European Union, the postall office is obliged to declare my mail with customs and I have to pay taxes for importing into the EU. 

I can challenge this. However, then they have to check the goods and estimate it's value. I don't think that's a good idea.

I will just pay the 20 Euro's. Mai will arrive this afternoon

Taxes = BTW?

Well, it's called 'Inklaringskosten' and its a sum you have to pay to the postal office because of the handling of the mail and the administrative expenses that are made, e.g. costs for customs, BTW-taxes and import levy. 

It's very normal, because that's EU-law. However, I have NEVER had this before. Indeed. Customs think I ordered something that is of some value and to import it I have to pay for it. Main question is: did they open it or didn't they.... /default_smile.png Will see, my mail will arrive within two hours now. 

 
To be honest: I've never heard about that before.

In Switzerland they sometimes charge the WUST (BTW), but for handling

was originally paid at point of despatch.

Or...is that the new way to make money out of the illegal imports instead of sending them back?

My post was not directed at you but at Duvel right above my post.  I didn't want to quote his post and then have it posted "again".  I should have quoted and just X out the descriptive part.  Duvel, we don't mention where vendors originate from and especially don't describe packaging!!!  That is my vendor too and I want to continue to receive.

 
OK! My present was delivered. I had to pay 20 EUR to the postal guy, he then gave me a bill. It's from customs and I have to pay it as a IMPORT LEVY for the import of NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS.

So that's the deal. You buy scheduled medicine from outside the European Union and, consequently, you have to pay a levy for it... Crazy world.   

 
I'm glad that turned out okay Gyre, alarm bells were ringing for me just for a tiny moment lol

 
GYRE, first thing I thought was by paying this fee you'd essentially be " signing" your name to EU customs by agreeing you wanted, accepted and were aware of the package contents- IM VERY GLAD I was wrong and YOU got the package! GREAT news!

  3. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  5. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  6. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP

But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  9. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  13. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  16. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  17. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  18. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  19. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
  20. R @ Royboy99: Maybe it’s the admixture of my South American dna that works so well with it ? 🤷
