Hi, about one month ago I got a text from posti that I had a package coming my way from outside the EU. The package was shipped last friday and yesterday I got information that is waiting for customs clearance. My problem is that I have no idea what this may be, who ordered it or even if this is for me (it's addressed to my home, though).
All I have is the information that the sender is a marketing logistics company (perhaps a corporate gift?) and that it's a ½ kilo package. The messages from posti seem legit and I see it also in my posti app.
I've asked people who have sent me packages before or I may have had dealings in the past, and they don't know a thing about it. I am an EU citizen and, other than Canary islands, I haven't been recently anywhere where I would have to declare customs.
Has anyone had something similar happen to them in the past? I'm wondering what to declare or even if I should at all?

Re: Customs declaration for unknown package
If you are not particularly bothered about receiving it, just skip declaring it and it will be returned to sender. Otherwise I would try to contact the sender on file to get the required information.ajdias wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 12:44 pmHi, about one month ago I got a text from posti that I had a package coming my way from outside the EU.

Perhaps I am a bit paranoid, but it crossed my mind that this could be some sort of scam
