Sharing my EU experience:
Ordered from Rohit to Europe (Baltics / Eastern Europe), around 2,000 tablets, ~€300 total. Since it was shipped from India, the parcel got stopped for customs clearance and VAT. Maybe because of CN22 and HSN 3004 code, no idea.
To proceed with clearance, the shipping company / postal service offered customs brokerage (standard customs clearance procedure) and asked me to provide the following documents:
1) Proof of purchase / invoice
2) Proof of payment (proof of transaction) - mandatory
3) Additional documents if available (for example a medical prescription or certificate)
According to tracking, the shipment first transited through Germany (Frankfurt), apparently without an EU import declaration, and was then forwarded directly to my country, where it was stopped by customs. Btw, I’m not sure why the shipment was sent this way, especially since I asked in advance about delivery to Europe. I was told that shipments to Europe are done on a regular basis and that the success rate is above 98%, but in my case the parcel still ended up stuck at customs.
With an order of this size and contents (prescription-only medicines non-AAS, no oils), anyway it felt risky. If customs decided to open the parcel, any mismatch between the documents and the actual contents could cause serious legal issues. Because of that, I decided not to proceed with customs clearance and declined the shipment.
Rohit offered to provide an invoice, but I was not confident that this alone would satisfy customs. The most important document was proof of transaction, which I could not provide because payment was in crypto.
Rohit suggested triangular shipping (UK -> EU), but I’m not convinced it really lowers the risk, so I’m unsure if it’s worth trying.
