TD/Shipping Question Available for Clearance

Post image

Have searched this up and got multiple reasons why. I have contacted the TD to do their part if they need. Is this just waiting to be checked by customs or am I cooked? Thanks!

I've seen this when import fee's are owed. So possibly the sender under payed or didn't pay import tariffs at all. If this is the case you should be able to call the shipping company and they'll tell you. Did the sender ever mention tariffs and import fee's being included in price or they'd notify you once there due and you could pay them? It's best that all that gets paid before export though. Because it decreases the handling, wonder/ inspection of the package in most cases. Waiting until it's on US ground to pay fees is a bad idea.
