Declaring and Clearing Customs When Forwarding Ledger Cross-Border
Overview: How should you handle declaration and customs clearance when forwarding Ledger across borders?
Key takeaway: Always buy from Ledger's official store or an authorised reseller, inspect the tamper-evident seals and serial number on arrival, and treat any request for your recovery phrase or PIN as a scam.
Action / decision points:
- Review the destination's duties and customs rules before ordering.
- Budget for VAT and import duties so you aren't misled by a low headline price.
- Use a reputable courier and provide accurate declaration details.
- Keep the invoice and payment proof for customs.
- If additional tax is requested, confirm the notice came through official or courier channels.
Safety reminder: Never share your recovery phrase or PIN with anyone. Low prices and unknown channels are high-risk; verify authorisation and seals, and if you have any doubts, cancel the order or return the device immediately.
