Understanding Customs Checkpoints
This is a crucial phase in international shipping. Don't worry if your package pauses here for a few days—it's standard procedure.
What Happens During Customs Clearance?
Customs authorities in the destination country inspect inbound parcels to ensure contents comply with import regulations, duties, and taxes. ACBuy's tracking will show statuses like:
- "In Customs" or "Customs Clearance in Progress":
- "Customs Cleared" or "Import Cleared":
- "Customs Hold - Inspection Required":
- "Customs Cleared" or "Import Cleared":
To avoid delays, ensure your purchase doesn't contain prohibited items for your country.
The Final Mile: Tracking to Your Door
Once cleared locally, your parcel is handed to a domestic courier (like USPS, DHL, or your local postal service).
- The tracking number often remains the same, but you may also get a local one updated in your ACBuy tracker.
- Use the "Out for Delivery" status as your cue that the package will arrive that day.
- If you miss the delivery, the tracker will usually update with a notice and instructions for rescheduling or pickup.
