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” (9 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.

EB839167051CN Stuck in customs. (2 replies)

Hello,

My package (EB839167051CN) has been stuck in Chinese customs for more than a week. It says "RETENTION TO BE VERIFIED". It hasn't updated since.

Is this normal?

If there's a problem with payment or documentation missing, better be asking for a refund now. Seller is going to do nothing.

Many thanks in advance.
