[Question] declared value — does under-declaring help or hurt

Question Receipts ×5

Right, the import question again, but with numbers this time.

I have 6 data points over 32 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.

The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 93, not week 47. People give up long before the interesting part.

Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.

Week 61 for me and the honest summary is: 11kg down, the food-noise thing manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.

Came off after 51 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

Maintenance for 2 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.

always state your country, advice from another jurisdiction can harm you

Strongly agree. Jurisdiction matters.

About c/customs

What happens at the border: personal-import allowances, seizure letters, declared value, research-use documentation and why it is not a magic word, and the enormous variation between jurisdictions that makes most internet advice on this topic worthless.
