I sent the package back to China and it’s stuck at the customs. What should I do?

 

1.If it’s tax-exempt items, it could be released directly within 7 days. In some situations, it may be delayed.  You may wait for a longer time. 

 

2.If it needs to declare or levy taxes, the customs will notify the recipient in China to go through customs procedures. Generally, they will send a message to the recipient’s mobile phone or call the receiver. The recipient usually needs to fill the forms required to the customs. After the customs checked and they will release the package. Later, China Post will deliver it to the receiver. 

 

What should I do if I want it back from the customs? 
 

If you want the customs to return your goods, the recipient needs to fill in the personal goods return approval form. After customs inspection, it will be released. 

 

What should I do if the recipient does not receive the customs notice?
