For a convenient tracking of goods and online store purchases, parcels, letters, there are services that help customers to control the location of their order. During transportation, products pass a certain number of checkpoints, which are identified in the system but are not always clear to a customer.
What does "Forwarded for international shipping" mean? At this stage, the goods have been prepared, packaged, labelled, and accepted by the transportation company. In fact, it’s ready for transportation to the country of destination. It follows after “Accepted by the carrier” stage.
Waiting time
The cargo can be tracked by the invoice number which you can obtain from the transport company. If the status of the shipment indicates “Forwarded for international shipping”, it means that the parcel should reach its recipient within 10-20 days, on average. It depends on how fast the goods pass the border, get cleared at the customs, and whether they comply with all the regulations. If the documents are insufficient or there are violations, inaccuracies in the declaration, customs officers detain the goods until the issues are resolved and the corrections of the commodity codes according to the Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activity classification are made, and duties are paid. If the inspector finds that the product does not conform to the information declared in the documents, it is necessary to provide reliable information as soon as possible.
The detained cargo is sent to a bonded warehouse (BW) until the circumstances are clarified; the recipient gets notified. Warehouses are commercial entities and are not related to customs. Free storage is provided only for five days, the charges are to be paid by the shipper. The goods that are recognized as prohibited are subject to confiscation or they get liquidated.
