Tracking status

“Broker Notified / Cleared by Broker”: what this tracking status means

The shipment is in the destination country and a customs broker has been notified to clear it. DHL says that when the importer has appointed a broker, the shipment awaits clearance and delivery by that broker.

What to do

  1. Shipper: tell the receiver to contact the broker.
  2. Receiver: contact the broker directly for clearance and last-mile delivery updates.
  3. Have the invoice and any import documents ready.

When to contact the sender or carrier

If the broker cannot locate the shipment or clearance stalls, contact both the broker and DHL.
