where is my package - ZA05755400701 - it says its in customs but customs say they have no record of it - so what port did it enter Australia and which customs and which city is my package supposed to be sitting in

Based on the tracking history you provided, the specific Australian port of entry is not explicitly listed in the public scan details.
The last update from the carrier shows: *"2026-04-13 08:54 The flight has arrived... the express has arrived at the processing center, and the mail has arrived at [Australia] Customs... waiting for customs clearance."*
Here is the general situation regarding your inquiry:
Why the port isn't listed: The carrier’s tracking system often shows the item as having "arrived in Australia" and "clearing customs" without specifying the exact city or port name (e.g., Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth) until the package is actually processed by the domestic carrier.
Regarding the customs discrepancy: If the carrier's status shows "waiting for customs clearance" but the Australian customs authority says they have no record, this usually means the carrier has generated the pre-clearance data or the container is in a bonded warehouse queue, but the physical package has not yet been formally scanned into the customs system. The package is likely still sitting in a carrier holding yard or container at the port of arrival awaiting processing.
Where to check: Since the status is static at "customs," the most reliable update on which city the package is in will come when the status changes to something like "Arrived at sorting center" or "Handed over to last mile carrier" in a specific Australian city (e.g., Sydney or Melbourne).
Here is what you can do next:
Check the airline flight number: If the tracking shows a specific flight number (e.g., flight MU or CZ), that flight’s destination airport is the port of entry.
Check the Australian partner: Look for a secondary tracking number or "Local Tracking Number" on the carrier’s page. Once the package clears customs, entering that number on the Australia Post website will show you exactly which facility has it.
Wait for the next scan: If customs has no record, it likely means the package is in a backlog queue at the gateway port and has not been physically unloaded or scanned by customs yet. It may still update in the next 24-72 hours.
