What this status means
FedEx has found something in the parcel that it classes as hazardous material, and it cannot ship the item the way it was packed or declared. This is a hold at a FedEx facility, not a normal transit scan. The parcel is physically stopped there while FedEx decides what to do with it. Items that often trigger this include lithium batteries, aerosols, perfumes, flammable liquids and some chemicals.
Is my package delayed?
Yes. This message is an exception, not a routine step. It usually means the parcel has stopped moving and will not continue until the issue is resolved. It may be returned or not delivered at all, so the delay may be longer than usual.
What happens next
- FedEx may contact the sender to ask for corrected documents or packaging.
- The parcel may be released and sent on if the issue can be fixed.
- It may be returned to the sender.
- In some cases it may be disposed of if it cannot be shipped or returned.
What you can do
- Keep checking the tracking history for a new status.
- Contact the seller or sender first. They know what is in the parcel and can deal with FedEx about the shipping rules.
- If you get no answer or the status does not change, contact FedEx customer service with your tracking number.
- Have your order details and a description of the item ready, including any batteries or liquids it contains.
