After the international mail arrives at the mail processing center, it is necessary to send the mail to the customs supervision area for sorting and inspection. At this time, the status displayed on the EMS official website will be "sent to customs".
the customs actually inspected the mail within 24 hours after the mail arrived in the regulatory area. In order to handle customs formalities such as negotiation, customs declaration and other customs formalities, the post will be notified by the post and sent to the "entry and exit international mail for customs formalities", and the addressee handles customs formalities accordingly. Before the consignee completes the customs formalities by the notice, the status of the mail is still displayed as "sent to the customs", but the customs inspection and supervision work has been completed. For the need to handle the customs formalities, since the postal delivery and delivery notice need a certain amount of internal operation time, it will appear for a long time to show "to the customs" and the customs notice. If you haven't received the notification for a long time, you can know the situation of the postal service.

But there is only one item in the parcel and it is inseparable. Although it is beyond the prescribed limit, it can be used by the Customs for personal use. It can go through customs formalities in accordance with the provisions of personal articles.
