Customs C160
 

Got c160 for the first time asking for invoices, prices paid etc

I buy from aliexpress, will this count? I paid by cc, should I include copy of that payment? Or is it better making your own invoice

This came from eBay, or from UK Customs? I'm asking out of curiosity.

apologies, from uk customs, item im guessing was valued less than what customs suspect its worth, not that i would ever try to dodge charges ;)

should i match my invoice to what was put on the parcels as sample items have low value or should i make it more and take a small customs charge

Re: Customs C160
 

One of the reasons for seizure is value declared lower than expected.

I am not sure about customs in UK, but in Canada, its not a crime to tell the truth.

Yes, confirm from supplier what price he has put on invoice which he sent with the parcel. as Customs would have seen that invoice. ask supplier to provide invoice in same price and send them. If you want to send actual invoice and they asked why prices are different tell them its not my fault. Blame sender ;) only reason would be you will have to pay some customs and vat. and goods will be released. Which courier company was handling the clearance?
