How the International Tracking Pipeline Works
Cross-border logistics involves multiple regulatory bodies and transport carriers. Tracking milestones follow a standardized progression.
| Stage | Tracking Event | Location / Agency |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | Received at Overseas Hub (e.g., California, Dubai, Hong Kong) | Origin Country LBC Branch |
| Stage 2 | Export Customs Clearance & Departed Origin | International Airport Gateway |
| Stage 3 | Arrived Manila Gateway & Presented to Customs | BOC NAIA / Port of Manila |
| Stage 4 | Released by Customs & Transferred to LBC Hub | Pasay Central Gateway |
| Stage 5 | Dispatched to Regional Delivery Hub | Destination Provincial Hub |
| Stage 6 | Out for Delivery / Signed POD | Consignee Residence / Office |
Understanding Customs Holds and Formal Entry Scans
When an international parcel status displays "Held by Customs" or "Pending Regulatory Clearance", it typically means the Bureau of Customs (BOC) requires supplemental commercial invoices, FDA permits for health supplements, or tariff assessment for shipments exceeding PHP 10,000.
