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)...

2nd update: I've called the customs today. They brought it to some main customs office or so in a city near Leipzig . 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

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
