In .fi customs randomly samples international inbound mails. They say they ignore the green value declaration because everyone lies anyway.

In theory you need to pay import duty + VAT, however if they're less than 10E you pay nothing.

Just because customs sampled your letter doesn't mean they think there was anything wrong or illegal about it.

Update: I've still not received my batteries, but the seller was fair enough to extend the aliexpress "confirm order receipt" deadline until 19th May, which is +20 days from the initial deadline... I think until then I'll at least finally know, what really happened to my batteries. I'll start nagging the customs a little bit tomorrow (if I find the time to make a call from the office)... :D

2nd update: I've called the customs today. They brought it to some main customs office or so in a city near Leipzig :eek:. I was told that I will receive my package some day, but I wonder how much I'll have to pay, cause the value is only EUR 23.14 and they take 50 cent for each storage day... nice business model :mad:

damm sounds like German post are a**holes, how hard can it be to slap on a bill for you, and deliver the package, it's only battery's not anything sinister

Yes :) my boyfriend fetched them from the post office today, so I'm awaiting them to arrive at home later in the evening... Damn, can't wait to test them :)
