Tracking status

“Arrived in Destination Country”: what this tracking status means

The international parcel has landed in the destination country and is waiting for import customs clearance. Cainiao says you need to wait for clearance before delivery. Royal Mail explains that 'OE' (Office of Exchange) means the item has arrived at the import customs office.

What to do

  1. Wait for customs clearance; no action is usually needed.
  2. Watch for a request for duties, taxes or documents.
  3. Once handed to the local carrier, track it on that carrier's site if a new number is shown.

When to contact the sender or carrier

If tracking stops for a long period after arrival, the parcel may be in customs; contact the local carrier for import status.
