Why Would You Need to Contact Customs?

Customs authorities inspect packages that enter their country to ensure they meet local regulations. If customs finds issues with the package, they may hold it until further clarification or action is taken. Here are the main reasons why you might need to contact customs:

• Package Held for Inspection: Customs can randomly inspect packages, which may delay delivery.
• Missing or Incomplete Documentation: Incorrect paperwork can lead to delays. MAIKONG CO.LTD ensures all packaging shipments come with complete, accurate documentation.
• Duty and Tax Payments: Some packages require duties or taxes, which need to be paid before customs releases them.
• Prohibited or Restricted Items: Certain goods may need special permits or licenses to enter a country.
