What does "Customs Clearance" mean on Pitney Bowes tracking?

"Customs Clearance" or "In Customs" means the destination country's customs authority is reviewing your parcel before release. Duties or taxes may apply, and the transit clock effectively pauses here. Once you see "Customs Cleared," the parcel moves on to the local carrier for delivery.
