Hi Oliver,
When an international package remains in the "Overseas Import Customs Held for Inspection" status for several days, it can be truly frustrating. By analyzing information from various international express delivery scenarios, I can analyze the possible causes and solutions.
❓ Why is a package "Held for Inspection"?
"Held for Inspection" typically means that the package is undergoing customs inspection. There are many reasons why this status may persist for eight days or longer. Here are some common scenarios:
Routine Inspection: Customs conducts random inspections on a certain percentage of import and export goods as part of a routine safety and compliance check. If your package is randomly selected, it will be subject to inspection.
Declaration Issues: This is a very common reason.
Incomplete or Incorrect Documents: For example, information on invoices and waybills is missing, unclear, or inconsistent with the actual item.
Value Exceeds the Limit: If the declared value of a package exceeds Serbia's duty-free threshold, you may be required to pay additional taxes before it can be released.
Sensitive Items: Inspection may take longer if the package contains the following items:
Medicines, food, cosmetics, batteries, etc. are all considered sensitive goods.
Suspected prohibited items or items restricted from entry by local law.
Irregular Packages: If the outer packaging is damaged or the shipping label information is unclear, customs will also detain and inspect the package.
