Hi Trisha,

You don't need to pay tax. It was handed over to the carrier transport on May 5 and is in transit to the USA now. You'd better wait for more days to get update.

Packages Stuck on “ export customs / retention to be verified” (8 replies)

Hello, I have noticed that many people have their packages stuck on “Guangzhou City, export customs / retention to be verified” since August 28th 09:52. Can you please check what is going on? I have contacted shipper and they said that they do not have any information from EMS. I know of many people who have complained about the same status from the exact same date. It has been almost a month and still has not left customs. That should not be happening when people pay extra for quick shipping and are waiting for important packages.
