Urgent Customs Query
Hi all any advice on this would be very gratefully received!
I have my parcel from HK waiting at customs. FedEx just rang me asked for the value, I said isn't it on the declaration? They said the sender has marked it down as $50 but the weight of the parcel is making them query it.
However the real value is nearer to $500! I didn't ask them to do this, and I am happy to pay what is due. However, I don't want to 'shop' my supplier or ruin my relationship with them. On the other hand, will I get in trouble if I tell them the true value? Is it safer to stick with $50? I'm guessing its the price I paid they want not what they cost to my supplier.
They want me to email them a written declaration stating the contents and value.
The items are completely genuine so no problems in that respect.
I'm just not sure what to do for the best?
