I have experience in this area, I must say: customs clearance time depends on a few factors. Gather the data first, don't make emotional decisions.
Another perspective: maybe the core issue with customs duration is something else. Think about it like this...

But what's the real risk? If this choice is wrong, does the business shut down? I'm saying this so you're super careful.

I'll try it. When we decide without measuring, we always end up in the same place.
If you have questions write them; I'll answer as best I can.

Just a heads-up. I mean splitting your budget without knowing where you're losing users is just throwing money in the dark.

I'm a small business, let me explain from my side. Don't enter any agreement without an exit plan.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Here's how it went for us. If you don't write this down from the start, it leads to arguments later.
Of course, it varies if your situation is different.
Sorry, but this doesn't apply in every case. A small market isn't bad; working cheaply in a small market is.
If you post the result here, it will help others too.

I can't fully agree with this. The answer varies greatly by industry; there is no one-size-fits-all rule.

There's one point I'm curious about. Splitting your budget without knowing where you're losing users is just throwing money in the dark.
Just leaving this note, it might be useful.
My perspective changed after experiencing that. A small market isn't bad; working cheaply in a small market is.
If I were you I'd go this route.

My perspective changed after experiencing that. Hasty decisions become decisions you have to fix six months later.
Good luck with that.
I completely agree. Just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's right.
When making decisions, write down the worst-case scenario too, not just the best.
Correct. Calculate how many months you can survive without revenue, then halve that number.
This is my opinion I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.
