Why is my Tanzania Post parcel held at customs?
A "held at customs" status means the customs authority is inspecting your item and may assess import duty or tax before releasing it. The recipient is normally responsible for any charges. The parcel is not lost; it will resume movement and show a "customs cleared" or "released" scan once cleared.
