Customs requires additional information or documents for clearance. Awaiting information from the customer. / We've contacted the receiver

UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

UPS has reached the customs clearance step for your international parcel, and the customs authority needs more information or documents before it will release it. The parcel is being held at a UPS facility, and UPS has contacted the receiver. The missing item is often a document such as a power of attorney, which lets UPS handle customs paperwork on your behalf.

Is my package delayed?

This message is an exception, not a routine scan. The parcel will not move through customs until the requested information is provided, so it can take longer than the previous steps. It is not a sign that the parcel is lost.

What happens next

Once UPS has what it needs and customs accepts it, the parcel is released and moves on. The next scan is usually a "Warehouse Scan", which shows it is back in the UPS network and heading toward delivery.

What you can do

  • Check your email, phone and any UPS notices for a request from UPS, and reply with what they ask for.
  • If you are unsure what is missing, contact UPS with your tracking number and ask which document is required.
  • Ask the seller if they can supply invoices or product details, if those are requested.
  • Be ready to pay customs duties or taxes if they apply to your parcel.
