not asking about avoiding declaring it, genuinely just wondering from people who have declared it honestly, does it actually add much time or hassle at the border, or is that overestimated lol

Honestly depends entirely on the country and on what's being declared, nobody here can really tell you what you'll get. the destination's customs guidance will say more than any of us can.

This is also why leaving buffer time before a connecting flight matters if you're declaring food items, not specific to this product, just general good practice.

Agreed, and worth having the paperwork on hand rather than relying on memory if asked questions.
