"Arrival at inward office of exchange" is a postal term. The "inward office of exchange" is the international mail centre in the destination country where parcels from abroad are received from the carrier. Your Aliexpress Standard Shipping parcel has crossed the border and reached this entry point. It is usually the step just before import customs checks and handover to the local postal service.
This message by itself is normal. It marks arrival in the destination country and is not an exception. The messages that follow vary, and some mention customs, such as "Pending customs clearance" or "Item presented to import Customs". Those are routine checks, though a parcel can wait longer than usual at this stage when customs is busy.
The parcel is normally presented to import customs. After that you will usually see a customs-related update, such as "Pending customs clearance" or "Customs clearance completed". Once cleared, it is passed to the local postal service for delivery. Sometimes the history shows a local posting or collection scan instead.
