US Customs Clearance Delays

Due to a recent increase in customs inspections for e-commerce shipments entering the United States, the overall inspection frequency has significantly risen.

As a result, inspections that were previously handled mostly under 1H (basic inspection) are now increasingly subject to 2H (enhanced inspection) procedures.
Accordingly, shipments that typically cleared customs within 1–3 days may now experience delays of up to 1–10 days or longer.

📌Estimated Customs Inspection Timeframes (Average)

1H — 1–3 days
2H — 3–7 days
3H — 1–3 weeks or longer depending on the circumstances

📌Types of Customs Inspections

1H — CBP Inspection Only
Conducted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
Includes X-ray screening and basic package inspection

2H — CBP + Regulatory Agency Inspection
Conducted by CBP, FDA, and USDA
Applicable to items such as food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, wood, plants, and agricultural products
May involve sampling and ingredient verification

3H — CBP + Multiple Regulatory Agencies
Conducted by CBP, FDA, USDA, and additional agencies such as EPA and CPSC
Applied to highly regulated goods requiring detailed inspection

We kindly ask for your understanding and patience, as these delays are due to external customs procedures beyond our control.
We will continue to monitor the situation and do our best to ensure timely delivery.
