UPS tracking parcel

What this status means

The parcel is an international shipment held by UPS before it is submitted to Customs. The recipient asked UPS to get in touch first, and UPS has now tried to contact the receiver. The parcel is waiting at a UPS facility, not out for delivery.

Is my package delayed?

This is an exception, not a routine scan. Customs processing is paused until contact is made, so the parcel may take longer than the previous steps. It is not a sign that the parcel is lost.

What happens next

Once UPS reaches the receiver and has what it needs, it submits the shipment to Customs and processing continues. After clearance, the parcel moves on to local delivery. If UPS cannot reach anyone, it may stay on hold.

  • Customs may ask for more information or documents.
  • UPS may need a working phone number.

What you can do

  • Check your phone, email and any UPS notices, and answer the contact attempt quickly.
  • Have your tracking number, order details and a valid phone number ready.
  • If you did not expect a call, or no one has reached you, contact UPS and quote the tracking number.
  • If the parcel is a purchase, ask the seller for the invoice or item description, and be ready to pay any customs duties or taxes.
