gasdoc Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Anyone ever get this? I have a watch incoming to the USA from UAE via EMS. tracking says it's retained by customs for reason number 99. According to google that means waiting for declared value from sender? The packing slip contains no value. I have seen a scan of it. Any suggestions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asciwhite Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 That usually means you have to provide a receipt of purchase with the value of the item on it... In case the sender doesent provide value of said item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasdoc Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 How would I provide them with a value? Will they contact me? The seller just labelled it as watch parts for repair. The watch is in pieces BTW. No value was listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asciwhite Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thats the problem. They need a value for "import" reasons. They will probably contact the seller for receipt.... Hope someone else also chimes in here. When this happens to me in Norway I provide Paypal receipt, or if the value is high I forge a repair/service receipt and e-mail to the import office... You will probably get a letter in the mail about this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
