Moved to Europe, need help in being active in the community again

Hi!

Congrats for taking new job. Enjoy Europe.

Since Element14 sends packages using UPS using incoterm DDP, everything is quite a simple and free for you. It is slighly country dependent because customs offices in every country work independently and while many laws are stadardized over Europe, there are still small national differencies. In Czechia it works in a way that they sometimes do not need nothing and sometime they require to fill simple form (in Czehc language), but they to not want full copy of ID card. But it also depends on carrier. With UPS it is fine, but for example DHL requires (at least in Czechia) much more paperwork when receiving foreign packages.

Also remember to update your address in Element14 profile. rscasny  stated few months ago, that they will not send anything to different address than address in the user profile.

Best wishes in this new adventure.

It's been a long time since I was last active in the community.  I was busy moving to a beautiful country in Europe for my new job.

Back in India we had to provide our ID documents and address proof to UPS for customs clearance.

We have always had a harder time shipping items to India, they always get held up for different reasons.

This's correct, we send items with delivery duty paid, so you shouldn't need to pay anything.

Welcome to Europe. Estonia is a great unknown to me. I worked for a few years in Stockholm in Sweden, the weather in Estonia must be very similar to that in Sweden, you will have to prepare for the cold and those short winter days. Congratulations on your new job.

Regarding customs rules, as you have been told, they are very dependent on each country but don't worry, the element14 staff does everything possible so that it isn't a nightmare for you and you don't have to pay anything.

Thanks! I thought the entire EU has same regulations. I'll check the rules here. They have UPS here in Estonia so I guess it should be easy to get shipments cleared from customs.

Yes, I'll update it soon! Thanks!

Thanks!

Hey!

Still so far it's going good!
I guess for me it will be easier to receive the shipments now

Thanks !

Thanks! Yeah, it's a small country and many people even in the EU haven't been here. It's getting cold now and the winters are pretty harsh here but the locals seem to be unaffected by it, it's still summer for some
I'll check the customs rules here. Thanks!
