<p class="MsoNormal">I recently ran into trouble receiving a package from Erica Synths in Latvia. They normally declare a low value since these are demo units I receive to make videos and manuals for, but this time they forgot and it was declared as over 1000
USD, which is a kind of "threshold for customs attention" here in Mexico. The result was that due to a new law from August 2020, customs was requiring that I pay all the necessary licensing papers so that my rack with two modules inside could be legally imported,
and it came to over 3000 Euros total. Luckily I was able to find a knowledgeable customs agent who managed to reclassify the package as "parts for synthesizers" rather than a complete synth, and after a few weeks in expensive storage, the import fees and
the agent's own fees, ended up costing 700 euros to release. Expensive, but it was still worth it to Erica to pay, rather than abandon and ship me a new box with a low declared value.<o:p></o:p></p>
