Aliexpress Standard Shipping

Import customs clearance started

Aliexpress Standard Shipping tracking parcel

What this status means

Your parcel has reached the destination country and the import customs check has begun. It is physically at a customs facility or a sorting site connected to customs. Aliexpress Standard Shipping records this step when the parcel is handed over for the formal import declaration. It is a normal stage for every international parcel.

Is my package delayed?

No, this message by itself is normal. It is a routine step, not an exception. Nearly half of parcels move on to "Import customs clearance complete" next. About a quarter go straight to another transport step. A smaller share, about 8%, get a "clearance delay, we're inspecting your order" note. That is an exception, and it means the check is taking longer than usual.

What happens next

  • Most often, the status changes to "Import customs clearance complete" and the parcel is released.
  • Otherwise it may show a move to a linehaul office or sorting center, where the parcel is sent on toward your area.
  • Less often, customs inspects the parcel and the clearance takes longer than the previous steps.

What you can do

  • Wait and keep checking the tracking history. No action is needed at this stage.
  • Be ready to pay import duties or taxes if your country charges them. Customs or the local carrier will tell you if anything is due.
  • Check that your name, address and phone number in the order are correct, in case customs needs to reach you.
  • If the status stays the same for longer than usual or an inspection note appears, contact the seller or the courier. Have your tracking number and order details ready.
