[SOLVED] US Customs Delay

[Anachron]

@Sean_Martin

I guess I have the same issue, FedEx website says it’s a “Clearance delay - Import” and has been in ANCHORAGE, AK since 2/2 “Clearance instructions from the importer are required.
Recommended action: Importer must provide instructions”

Did you already contact Framework support about this?

This has been resolved and the shipment has been released. If anyone is still having issues, or doesn’t see a shipping update by the end of day today, please contact Framework Support.

Thanks.

I’m experiencing this issue; my shipment has been tied up. I tried contacting support but haven’t heard anything back. I don’t know how big the support backlog is, but hopefully it will get unstuck soon. Thanks!

Update: It cleared up and I got my laptop on time. I’m not sure if Framework did something to help – they did reply later on confirming things were looking good at that point – but in any case, it resolved and I’m now a quite happy Framework laptop owner!

this thread shows solved which is confusing because its not solved for me yet

[Destroya]

It’s solved for the original poster, back in February 2023.

If your laptop is also stuck in customs, please don’t worry, it’s usually resolved in a few days. if you don’t see any movement by thursday afternoon please let me know.

US customs delay

Subject: Customs Delay - Framework Assistance Needed (Urgent) Hello Framework community, I’m facing an urgent customs issue with my laptop order. It’s been held by US Customs in Alaska for three days. FedEx informed me that the delay is due to a missing “anti-dumping commodity form” that needs to be submitted by Framework. They require Framework to contact the CPA (Centralized Processing Account) to resolve this hold. Has anyone else encountered a similar situation? Can anyone from the Framew…

please read my post

Hey Josh, I read your post, my answer will be the same you do not have to take any additional action, it will be cleared in a few days, let me know if you don’t see any movement on the tracking page by thursday afternoon.

@Josh

amazing thanks

Hey, did this get resolved for you? Mine got stuck clearing Anchorage customs yesterday afternoon and I am curious if yours got moving within the last 3 days.

[Destroya]

Hey Christopher, yours should be resolved soon as well, please let us know if you don’t see any movement by friday afternoon.

I wanted to share a frustrating shipping experience I had with FedEx. My international package took 4 days to clear customs, but now FedEx has an additional 3-day delay getting it from Anchorage, AK. The current delivery estimate is next Monday (5/13), making it a total of 6 days AFTER leaving customs!

FedEx claims there are flight delays due to thunderstorms. When I suggested ground shipping as a faster option, they said their express policy only allows air travel, even if it’s significantly slower.

[Destroya]

I’m sorry you have experienced Josh, that is a significant delay but there isn’t much we can do if it’s caused by thunderstorms.

[Josh]

thanks for your feedback and dedication
