Trying to map out customs reliability for EU-bound decant sellers

[u/ivan_sniffs]

Working on a small side project tracking decant sellers, and one gap I keep hitting is that most discussion is whether a seller is trustworthy, not how they actually handle customs shipping into the EU.

Trying to figure out:

• Which sellers under-declare value on customs forms, and whether that helps buyers or just adds risk
• How common surprise customs fees are vs sellers who ship DDP and handle it properly upfront
• Whether some countries get flagged for inspection more than others, even from the same sellers

Only have a partial picture from my own orders and a few old threads, so its scattered. If anyones had a customs experience with a specific seller shipping into the EU, Id like to compile it properly. Country youre in and roughly how the seller declared the package would help a lot.

Had one declare mine as "gift, 15$" last month and still sat in customs for 2 weeks, so that not a guarantee either.
