A missing commercial invoice is causing a delay. We are working to obtain this information / Your delivery will be rescheduled

UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

UPS is moving an international parcel that needs customs clearance, and the commercial invoice is missing. This is the document that lists what is inside, its value and who sent it. Customs needs it to process the shipment, so the parcel is on hold while UPS tries to get the information, usually from the sender or the sender's shipping agent.

Is my package delayed?

Yes, this is an exception, not a routine scan. The parcel cannot clear customs until the invoice problem is fixed, so it will be held up. How long that takes depends on how quickly the missing information arrives, and it may be longer than the earlier steps of the journey.

What happens next

Once UPS receives a valid invoice, the parcel goes through customs clearance and then continues to the local delivery network. The message says delivery will be rescheduled, so a new delivery date should appear after the document is in place. If the information cannot be obtained, the parcel may stay on hold or be returned.

What you can do

  • Keep checking the tracking history for an update first.
  • Contact the seller or sender and ask them to send UPS a complete commercial invoice.
  • If nothing changes for longer than you expected, contact UPS with your tracking number.
  • Have your order confirmation, item description and value ready. Be aware that customs duties or taxes may be requested once clearance goes ahead.
