Deutsche Post

The shipment has been excluded from import into the destination country/region

Deutsche Post tracking parcel

What this status means

Deutsche Post has recorded that the parcel is not allowed to enter the destination country or region. Customs or the import rules there have refused it, so it will not go through to delivery. The parcel is still in the courier's network, in or near the destination country, and it is being set aside for return.

Is my package delayed?

This is an exception, not a routine step. The message usually means the parcel will not arrive at your address. It can appear after earlier steps that looked normal, such as customs processing or preparation for delivery, so a smooth history does not rule it out.

What happens next

The next message is almost always that the shipment cannot be delivered in the destination country or region. After that, the parcel is normally sent back toward the sender. The return trip can take longer than the earlier steps, and tracking updates may be sparse.

What you can do

  • Check the tracking page for newer updates before taking any action.
  • Contact the seller first. They can tell you why the item was refused, for example a restricted item or missing paperwork, and arrange a refund, a replacement or a resend.
  • If the seller cannot help, contact Deutsche Post with your tracking number and order details.
  • Keep your order confirmation and payment proof in case you need to claim a refund.
