Once the shipment is received by the USPS, it is assigned a tracking number which can be used to track the status of the shipment online. Through the international customs monitoring service, the recipient can check the status of the shipment in real time, from the beginning to the end of the shipment process.
In particular, the USPS International Customs Tracking Service offers information on the following activities:
The USPS receives the shipment from the sender and begins the shipment process;
Shipment leaves the United States and is transferred to the country of destination;
the shipment arrives at the destination postal center in the foreign country;
The shipment is inspected by US Customs to determine if there are any restrictions or if customs fees need to be paid;
If necessary, your shipment is processed by US Customs, which may require additional information or documents from the sender or recipient;
Delivery: The shipment is delivered to the final recipient.
The USPS International Customs Tracking Service is free and can be used by anyone with a shipment tracking number. However, it's important to note that the service does not provide information about shipments that have not yet been received by the USPS or about shipments that do not go through US Customs.
