UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

This is a customs-stage message from UPS. Your parcel is in the destination country, but a customs broker other than UPS handles its import clearance. UPS cannot release it until that broker finishes the paperwork and any payment. The message also contains a second, unrelated sentence about an undeliverable package being disposed of under local guidelines. It looks like two UPS texts joined together. The first sentence is the one that usually applies to a parcel waiting on a broker.

Is my package delayed?

The waiting itself is common for international parcels, but it is an exception to the normal flow, and the parcel will not move until the broker acts. If it stays on this message longer than the previous steps took, the broker is probably waiting for something from you, such as payment, an ID or an invoice. The disposal wording is serious, but it applies only if the parcel truly cannot be delivered. Do not assume it applies to you without a clear notice.

What happens next

Once the broker clears the parcel, UPS takes over again. It usually moves on to the local delivery network and then out for delivery. If the broker needs more from you, the parcel stays on hold. If it cannot be cleared or delivered, it may be returned or handled as undeliverable.

What you can do

  • Check your email, texts and mail for a message from the broker asking for duties, taxes or documents.
  • Contact the broker named in that message, with your tracking number and order details ready.
  • If you cannot tell who the broker is, contact UPS and ask.
  • If the seller shipped it, ask them for the commercial invoice and the receiver details they gave.
