Shipment exception - Held, cleared regulatory agency(s) after aircraft/truck departed
FedEx tracking parcelWhat this status means
FedEx held your parcel at the import stage because a government regulatory agency needed to check it. The agency has now cleared it, but the clearance came after the aircraft or truck that would have carried the parcel onward had already left. The parcel is in FedEx's hands in the destination country and is waiting for its next transport connection.
Is my package delayed?
This is an exception message, so a small delay is likely. The parcel missed its planned connection and has to wait for the next one. It is not a sign of a serious problem, because the agency has already cleared it. Most parcels with this message move on again without any action from you.
What happens next
- Most often, an "International shipment release - Import" entry follows (about 38% of cases).
- Next most common is "At local FedEx facility" (about 32%).
- Less often, the parcel is shown as "On the way" or "Departed FedEx hub".
What you can do
- Wait and keep checking the tracking history for a new scan.
- If the status does not change for longer than the previous steps took, contact FedEx with your tracking number.
- If you ordered from a shop or marketplace, ask the seller for help, and have your order details ready.
- Watch for any request for import duties or taxes, and pay it if one appears, since it can hold up delivery.
