Thread: PSA: Unnecessary Bureaucracy with Import Permits

My permit was quite quick to get approved, but the person that approved it typo'd my name in the email address which slowed things up (to be fair thats a pretty common thing for me so not really their fault as such).

After I got it, I never actually was able to import the part as it was in the covid shipping time and I physically couldn't get the thing out of where it was in the US and over this side. The selling company didn't want it picked up and carried out (I think that looks suss for their end, payment on a foreign CC and carried out - fair enough) but the lack of physical carrying options from the other side of their country stopped the sale cold. I haven't imported the bit so hopefully the permit just expired haha no notification required!
