Deutsche Post

The international shipment has been processed in the export parcel center

Deutsche Post tracking parcel

What this status means

Your parcel has been scanned and sorted at the export parcel center, the Deutsche Post / DHL facility in Germany that prepares international shipments to leave the country. It is the step after the parcel center of origin, where it was first sorted. Your parcel is still in Germany, and it is being made ready for transport abroad.

Is my package delayed?

No. This message by itself is normal and is part of the standard route for international parcels. It is not an exception or a sign of a problem. Occasionally the same scan appears twice in a row, which is also routine.

What happens next

Most often, in about four out of five cases, the next update says the shipment will be transported to the destination country and handed over to the delivery organization there. In some cases the next update says it has already arrived in the destination country. Tracking can pause while the parcel is in transit, so a quiet period after this scan is common.

What you can do

  • Wait and check the tracking again later. Nothing is needed from you now.
  • If the status does not change for longer than the previous steps took, ask the seller to check with the courier.
  • Have your tracking number and order details ready when you contact the seller or Deutsche Post / DHL.
  • Customs duties or fees may apply once the parcel reaches your country, depending on its contents and value.
