It means that the package has entered customs inspection, is ready to enter the country, or go abroad.

All packages have to be scanned by customs, and the probability of EMS being detained is generally relatively small. For example, UPS and FEDEX still take the initiative to declare customs. Entering customs is just a procedure.

Will other things in the envelope be detained by customs?

Yes, 1. Declaration problems

Abnormal declaration will lead to the package being detained by customs. The declaration is mainly reflected in the declaration of the value of the goods. If the original value of 1,000 US dollars is declared at 10 US dollars for tax avoidance, the goods will definitely be detained by the customs.

2. Prohibited items

Every country has items that are prohibited from being transported. Common items include flammable and explosive items, radioactive items, qianbi, fruit and vegetable foods, etc. There are special cases, such as Brazil banning the import of logs, Spain, Australia banning electronic yan. In addition, some countries will also ban the transportation of some common items due to the special culture.

3. Tariff problem

Tariff problem will also lead to package deduction. If the declared value of the goods exceeds the local tariff threshold, then the corresponding tariff package will be released. Such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France and other European countries, the tariff threshold is 22 euros, and the declared value of the goods is easy to exceed.

4. The packing list is unknown

The packing list is a supplementary document for the invoice. If the packing list is not detailed, it will also be detained by the local customs.

5. No certification documents

Some items are exported abroad, and corresponding certification documents are required, otherwise they will be detained by the local customs. For example, electronic products, pure battery items, liquid items, cosmetics, well-known brand products, etc., all require corresponding certification documents. If they cannot be provided, they can only be returned or destroyed.

6. Special policies

Different countries have different customs clearance policies. If we mail the goods without following the local policies, the goods will be detained.
