What this status means
TNT has stopped the parcel because it contains, or is suspected to contain, dangerous goods. These are items such as batteries, flammable liquids, aerosols or chemicals that carry special transport rules. The parcel is being held at a TNT site, usually soon after it was collected or reached the first depot, while TNT checks it and decides how to proceed.
Is my package delayed?
This message is an exception, not a routine scan. Holding a parcel for checks usually means it will move more slowly than normal. It does not always mean the parcel is lost or will be returned. Some held parcels continue once the checks are complete, and others cannot be carried at all.
What happens next
If the checks are passed, tracking normally resumes with a scan such as "Shipment arrived at TNT location", or the parcel goes straight to "Shipment is out for delivery". Both have been seen after this message. If TNT cannot carry the contents, it may contact the sender about collection, return or disposal.
What you can do
- Keep checking the tracking history for a new scan. A hold can take longer than the previous steps.
- Ask the seller or sender what the parcel contains and whether it needs special dangerous goods paperwork or packaging.
- If the status does not change for longer than you would expect, contact TNT or the seller.
- Have your tracking number, the order details and a description of the contents ready.
