Oman Post Tracking
Oman Post Tracking gives senders and recipients a clear, real-time view of where a shipment is on its journey across the Sultanate of Oman and around the world. Whether you are waiting on a domestic parcel from Muscat, an Express Mail Service (EMS) item, or a premium Asyad Express delivery from overseas, Oman Post tracking helps you follow each step from posting to final delivery.
Tips for Tracking Oman Post Packages
To get the most accurate and useful updates, keep these tips in mind:
Double-check your tracking number so a single mistyped character does not return an empty result.
Allow time for the first scan, especially for international items, which may take a day or two to appear in the system after posting.
Track from a universal tracker like InstantParcels so you can follow the shipment even when it is handed over to a partner carrier abroad.
Keep your receipt until delivery is confirmed, since it carries the tracking number and proof of posting.
How to Identify an Oman Post Tracking Number
An Oman Post tracking number is usually a 13-character alphanumeric code that follows the international postal standard. You can find it:
On the shipping receipt issued at the post office counter.
In the confirmation email or SMS from an online store that shipped through Oman Post.
On the parcel label, near the barcode.
In your Oman Post or Asyad Express account if you booked the shipment online.
Oman Post Tracking Number Format
Most trackable Oman Post items use the Universal Postal Union S10 format: two letters that identify the service, followed by nine digits, and ending in OM, the country code for Oman. The leading letters tell you what kind of service the item was sent with:
EE 000 000 000 OM: Express Mail Service (EMS), for fast domestic and international parcels.
CP 000 000 000 OM: ordinary or insured parcels (Colis Postal).
RR 000 000 000 OM: registered mail, with added security and signature on delivery.
LC or RA 000 000 000 OM: registered letters and small packets.
If your number does not match this pattern, it may be a domestic reference number or a code assigned by the seller. In those cases a universal tracker can still match it to the correct carrier.

Allow 7-14 days for movement on standard international parcels, then contact Oman Post with your tracking number if there is still no change.
What does "Held at Customs" mean?
It means your international item is being inspected by customs in the destination country or is waiting for duties or taxes to be paid. Once any charges are settled and clearance is complete, the item continues toward delivery.
