Commodity information must be validated by the sender or importer. Awaiting information from the customer

UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

UPS has stopped your parcel at the customs stage because the description of the goods inside needs to be confirmed. The sender or the importer has to check or supply that commodity information. The parcel is being held, most likely at a UPS facility or with a clearing agency, until that happens.

Is my package delayed?

This is an exception, not a routine scan. The parcel cannot move on until the information arrives, so a delay is likely. The steps that follow are mixed: some parcels show the hold as resolved, others go on to a government agency release or back to a warehouse scan. How long it takes depends largely on how quickly the information is supplied.

What happens next

Once the information is provided and accepted, UPS usually notes that the hold has been resolved. The parcel may then wait for release by a government agency before it continues. UPS may also contact the sender or receiver directly to ask for the details.

What you can do

  • Check your email and phone for a message from UPS asking for details, and answer it promptly.
  • If you are the importer, give UPS a clear description of the goods.
  • If you are the receiver, ask the seller to send UPS the commodity details.
  • If the status stays unchanged for longer than usual, contact UPS or the seller with your tracking number and order details.
