Where is the place of international exchange? Postal exchange places. The procedure for sending mail to and from places of postal exchange. Reception by the customs service of the country of destination

I don’t see much point in knowing a detailed description of a particular postal status. The meaning of most of them is clear from the name, the meaning of others is not so important (again, for me).
However, many users want to understand what the package statuses they see when tracking mean. So I will give a description of the most frequent and popular statuses that you can find on various trackers.
Delivery to the addressee / Delivery to the recipient
The parcel has been received by the addressee (at the post office or delivered by courier)
Flew to destination country
The parcel will be delivered to the post office of the destination country. Next, it will be delivered to one of the places of international postal exchange for subsequent import/export operations.
Departed from the airport
The parcel has departed from the airport of the sender's country and is heading to the destination country. The status will not change immediately upon arrival at the airport of the destination country, but after the parcel is processed by the postal service. This may take from 3 to 10 days.
The parcel has departed from the airport of the sender's country and is heading to the destination country.
After the parcel leaves the territory of the sender's country and arrives at the destination country, it will be assigned a new track code, which is not registered anywhere. Accordingly, the parcel will not be tracked.
Released by Customs
The customs clearance procedure has been completed, and in the near future the parcel will be handed over to the post office of the destination country for further delivery.
Ready for shipment
Ready to ship
Means that the parcel is packed, marked and will be sent soon.
Detained by customs
This operation means that the parcel is detained by customs officers to carry out measures to determine the destination of the parcel.
When receiving goods by international mail within a calendar month, the customs value of which exceeds 1000 euros, and (or) the total weight of which exceeds 31 kilograms, in part of such excess, it is necessary to pay customs duties and taxes using a flat rate of 30% of the customs value of the goods , but not less than 4 euros per 1 kilogram of their weight. If information about the goods sent to the MPO is missing or does not correspond to the actual information, this significantly increases the time spent on processing shipments, since there is a need to conduct a customs inspection and document its results.
Submission
The parcel was sent to the wrong zip code or address, an error was detected and it was redirected to the correct address.
Import international mail
The operation of receiving the item in the recipient's country.
All mail arriving on the territory of the Russian Federation from air flights begins its journey at the aviation postal department (AOPP) - a special postal warehouse at the airport. Within 4–6 hours, shipments from the aircraft arrive at the AOPP, the containers are registered, and their integrity and weight are checked. Mail is registered in an electronic database. During registration, the barcode is scanned, data is entered about where the container is addressed (for example, MMPO Moscow), from which flight it arrived, about the country and date of formation of the container, etc. The time of these operations can be increased from 1 to 7x days due to the limited capacity of the AOPP.
The next operation after export from the country of origin, which is reflected on the website when tracking the shipment, is import into the destination country. Import information appears after the shipment is transferred by the carrier to the postal operator of the destination country. Operation “Import” means that the shipment arrived on the territory of Russia and was registered. International shipments arrive in Russia through the international postal exchange place (IMPO). There are several MMPOs in Russia: in Moscow, Novosibirsk, Orenburg, Samara, Petrozavodsk, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Bryansk. The choice of city where exactly the international shipment will arrive depends on the sender’s country. The choice depends on the availability of regular flights and free carrying capacity in a particular direction.
Unsuccessful delivery attempt
Assigned if the operator reported that there was an attempt to deliver the parcel to the addressee, but for some reason it failed.
Options for further action:
- New delivery attempt
- The parcel will be transferred for storage until demand or until the circumstances are clarified.

What to do if you receive this status:
- You need to contact your post office and find out the reason for non-delivery.
- You must contact the post office yourself to receive the parcel.

This may take from 3 to 14 days, depending on the workload of the place of international postal exchange.

Reception from sender
This means that the overseas sender (seller) has brought your parcel to the local post office. At the same time, he filled out all the necessary documents, including the customs declaration (forms CN 22 or CN 23). At this time, the shipment is assigned a unique postal identifier - a special bar code (Track number, Track code). It is located on the check (or receipt) issued upon acceptance of the parcel. The “Reception” operation shows the place, date and country of receipt of the item. After acceptance, the parcel moves on its way to the place of international exchange.

Customs clearance completed
This operation means that customs has checked the item and returned it to the Postal Service. In many MMPOs, customs works around the clock: this is the only way to check the colossal volume of mail incoming from abroad in a timely manner. Each customs officer is assisted by two postal operators.
Transit
Transportation
Transportation of a parcel from one sorting center to another, towards the recipient.
Package
This means that the parcel is being packed and marked for further shipment.
Export
Export (content check)
The parcel was handed over to the customs service of the sending state for inspection and other customs procedures. If the parcel passes the customs check successfully, it will be sent to the destination country.
Export (packaging)
The parcel has successfully passed inspection, is packed and ready to be sent to the destination country.
Export international mail
Indicates the actual dispatch of the parcel to the destination country.
The “Export” status includes the transfer of the parcel to a foreign carrier, which, by land or air transportation, transports it to the MMPO of the destination country. As a rule, this status is the longest and the transition to “Import” may take some time. This happens due to the characteristics of flight routes and the formation of the optimal weight for transporting it by plane. For example, shipments from China may be delayed due to the fact that cargo planes can carry at least 50 - 100 tons. On average, an export operation takes from 7 to 14 days, but sometimes this operation can take up to 60 days.
If the shipment is in the “Export” status, then it is impossible to track it (find out what exactly is happening to it); only at the import stage will you be able to see your package and monitor its further movement. The use of transit transportation and certain restrictions often delay shipments. However, if your parcel was sent more than 3 months ago, but has not received the “Import” status, then the sender needs to contact the post office and apply for a search.

As a rule, from the moment of registration until the actual delivery of the parcel, it can take from 1 to 7 days. After the parcel is transferred, the status will change to “Reception” or similar.
What do postage statuses mean in English?
Both on Aliexpress and on popular trackers, all postal statuses are translated into Russian. So you won’t come across statuses in English often. And yet, I decided to add here a translation and transcript of the most popular of them.
Firstly, you can run into them when tracking the track number directly on the website of one of the foreign delivery services, where there is simply no Russian language.
Secondly, machine translation of some statuses does not add clarity to the word at all.
So I think the information presented below will be useful to someone. I also note that different delivery services use different names for essentially the same actions. Therefore, some statuses will be translated the same way so as not to create confusion.
Order information received by carrier
The parcel information has been received by the carrier.
The same as - Information about the postal item has been received, information about the order/parcel has been received. This status means that your parcel has been registered by the carrier and has been assigned a tracking number. However, the parcel itself has not yet been sent.
hand over to carrier of destination country
Handed over to the carrier of the destination country.
Indicates that the package has arrived in the destination country and has been handed over to the local carrier, courier or postal service.
arrive at destination country
Arrived at destination country.
This status means that the parcel has arrived in the customer’s country. Next, it awaits customs clearance and transfer to a local carrier. It is worth noting that many small orders are no longer tracked at this stage.
despatch from sorting center
Dispatched from the sorting center.
Same as Left the sorting center. During the delivery process, you may encounter this statute several times, since parcels are sorted both in the country of departure and in the country of destination.
arrival at delivery office
Arrived at the office/delivery point.
Indicates that your order has arrived at your local post office or courier office. You will soon receive a notification or a courier will contact you.
arrival at sorting center
Arrival at the sorting center.
Sometimes trackers associate this status with the “Arrived at the waypoint” status. The process of sorting parcels usually takes 1-2 days, after which they continue on their way to their destination.
arrived at the destination postal office
Arrived at the destination post office.
Same as arrival at delivery office. This means that your parcel has been delivered to the nearest post office and you will be able to pick it up soon.
export of international mail
Export from the country of origin.
Some trackers translate this status literally - “International mail export.” It means that your package has left the country of origin and is heading to you.
released from customs
Left customs / Released by customs.
Your order has successfully passed all the necessary checks and customs clearance procedures and moved on.
left the place of international exchange
Left the international exchange site.
Also associated with the “Left waypoint” status. During the delivery process, this status may occur several times.
airline departure from original country
Left the country of departure (Air delivery).
Means that your order has left the country of origin by airmail.
already received the electronic information export
Parcel information received - export.
Means that the carrier has completed registration and processing of the postal item and the process of export to the destination country has begun.
international shipment release export
International shipment of goods - export.
The postal item was successfully exported from the country.
the parcel arrived at the transit center
The parcel has arrived at the transit center.
Also associated with the status “Arrived at the intermediate point”.
depart from transit country or district
Left the transit country.
This means that the parcel was not delivered directly to the destination country, but through one of the “transit countries” (usually European countries). There she also went through all the necessary customs procedures and was sent to the destination country.
airline arrive at destination country
Arrived in the country of destination - air delivery.
This means that the parcel has arrived in your country.
attempted delivery
Delivery attempt.
If you see this status, then in fact the courier should have already contacted you and agreed on a delivery time. If no one has contacted you, the status will soon change to “Unsuccessful delivery attempt.” In this case, you should contact the courier service office and explain the situation.
Most likely, they simply couldn’t get through to you.
import of international mail
Import to destination country.
Indicates that your order has crossed the border of the destination country.
In order not to make a mistake in the approximate delivery time of the parcel, you should know what this or that status means. On this page we will consider in detail all possible statuses so that you do not have difficulty determining the location of the parcel.
Postal statuses when tracking shipments from abroad
Reception.
This status means that the sender has completed all the necessary forms, including Form CN22 or CN23 (customs declaration), and the package has been accepted by the postal or courier service employee. Simultaneously with receipt, the shipment is assigned an identification number, which is subsequently used for tracking.
Arrival at MMPO.
MMPO is a place of international postal exchange. At this stage, the parcel undergoes customs control and registration. After this, service employees prepare a grouped international shipment.
Export.
One of the longest periods in the delivery of postal items. This is due to the fact that sending a partially loaded plane is unprofitable, so you have to wait until there is a sufficient number of parcels heading to one country.
In addition, to optimize logistics processes, shipments can be delivered in transit through other countries, and this also delays delivery time.
It is impossible to name the exact duration of the parcel's stay in export. But on average it ranges from two weeks to one and a half months. Moreover, on the eve of the holidays, this period may further increase. But if more than two months have passed since receiving the “Export” status, and there are no changes, you should contact the postal service performing the delivery with a request to search for the shipment.
Import.
This status is assigned to the shipment at the Russian AOPP (aviation mail department), where it arrives from an airplane. Here, according to the service regulations, the parcels are weighed, the integrity of the packaging is checked, the barcode is scanned to find out the place of departure, the flight number is recorded, and it is determined to which MMPO the parcel should be sent. The length of time an international shipment stays at AOPC depends on the workload of the department and its employees, but on average it is 1-2 days.
Handed over to customs.
After sorting, the parcels are sent for customs inspection, where they go through an X-ray scanner. If customs officers suspect the illegal transportation of prohibited substances or items, the shipment is opened and inspected in the presence of an inspector and the responsible operator. After this (if the fact of transportation of prohibited goods has not been confirmed), the parcel is packed again, an inspection report is attached and sent along the route.
Detained by customs.
This status is optional. It is assigned to a shipment only in cases where customs officers identify a weight that exceeds the permissible limit, a cost of more than 1,000 euros, and other violations. In this case, the recipient will have to pay additional fees. If there are no violations of customs legislation, the parcel will bypass this status.
Customs clearance has been completed.
After receiving this status, the parcel is again transferred to the place of international postal exchange, where it is processed by the department staff. In some cases, this status may be replaced by “left MMPO”.
Arrived at the sorting center.
From MMPO the shipment arrives for sorting. There are postal sorting centers in all major cities. As a rule, the parcel is sent to the center closest to the MMPO, where logistics service employees develop the optimal delivery route to the point of issue.
Left the sorting center.
This status means that the parcel has been sent along the delivery route. The time it takes for it to arrive at the recipient depends on several factors, including traffic congestion, remoteness of the region, etc.
There are Russian Post sorting centers in all major cities.
Arrived at the sorting center of the city N.
Upon arrival in the recipient's city, the parcel is delivered to the local sorting center. From here, the goods are distributed to post offices or other order delivery points. Delivery speed is affected by: traffic congestion, weather conditions, distance. For example, delivery within the city takes no more than 1-2 days, but within the region it can take about a week.
Arrived at the delivery location.
After the shipment arrives at the nearest post office, it is assigned this status. Next, postal employees are required to issue a notice and deliver it to the addressee within 1-2 days. In fact, this period may be slightly delayed, so it is better to use the “My Parcel” tracking service. As soon as you see the status “arrived at the place of delivery”, you can go to the post office. It is not necessary to wait for notification, since postal employees are required to issue the item using the identification code (tracking number). Upon receipt, you must have your passport with you.
Delivery to the addressee.
This status is assigned to the parcel after it is received by the addressee and means the end of the journey.
Domestic Russian shipments are assigned the same statuses, with the exception of those related to the customs stage and MMPO. Therefore, the information will also be useful to those who make purchases in Russian online stores or are expecting a package from loved ones living in another city or region.
Now you know the interpretation of each status and can not only determine the actual location of the parcel, but also approximately calculate the delivery time.
In accordance with Part 2 of Article 317 of the Federal Law of November 27, 2010 No. 311-FZ “On Customs Regulation in the Russian Federation” (Collected Legislation of the Russian Federation, 2010, No. 48, Art. 6252; 2013, No. 51, Art. 6682 ; 2014, No. 19, Art. 2319) we order:

Document overview
The list of international postal exchange places (IMPO) has been updated. We are talking, among other things, about mainline sorting centers and air mail transportation departments.
Let us recall that the previous list included 21 positions. It has been reduced to 16.
The order comes into force 30 days after the day of its official publication.
After visiting the ASC, we were taken to MMPO Moscow. This is one of the country's "postal gates". All international mail coming from other countries and sent abroad must pass through them. MMPO carries out mandatory procedures for customs control and clearance of shipments.
MMPO Moscow today is the key and largest place of international postal exchange in the country. Most imported and exported postal correspondence is processed and cleared through customs here. Now MMPO Moscow is expanding due to the annually increasing volumes of postal items arriving from abroad - parcels, EMS and especially small packages. For example, in 2009, 200 thousand small packages were received per month. And in 2011 - already more than 700-800 thousand small packages per month.
Below the cut are a lot of photos and a story about the excursion
At MMPO we first saw how customs inspection of parcels takes place.
All shipments using this device are checked for radioactivity:
They are also sniffed by specially trained dogs:
The items are scanned with an X-ray machine:
Here on the screen you can see that there is some suspicious item in the box:
In all suspicious cases, shipments are opened:
A sword is considered a bladed weapon; sending such items by mail is prohibited. It will be returned to the sender.
Recently, the premises of this workshop were significantly expanded and new equipment was brought there:
Then we went to the export written correspondence workshop:
All the same procedures are carried out there - customs inspection and processing of items, the only difference is that this mail, on the contrary, goes abroad.
The workshops are now being actively reconstructed, their area is expanding and intra-shop logistics are being improved to increase the throughput of the MMPO. The expansion of production areas is due to the transfer of administrative premises of the management apparatus to production areas. The total area of MMPO Moscow in 2011 increased by 3000 square meters. m. and amounted to about 13,000 sq. m. The number of postal and customs personnel is also significantly increasing to handle increased volumes of international mail.
At the end of the year, MMPO always has increased loads. Forecast for the receipt of incoming international shipments at MMPO Moscow at the end of 2011 on average per month: parcels - about 150,000 pieces; small packages - up to 800,000 pieces; EMS shipments - 110,000 pieces.
Meeting with representatives of Russian Post.
After visiting the MMPO workshops, we were invited to a meeting with representatives of the Russian Post, where we could ask any questions of interest.
I was interested in the question of how relevant postal services are today. It is quite obvious that with the development of information technology, fewer and fewer letters should be sent. But precisely because of the emergence of a large number of online stores, the number of parcels and parcels has greatly increased, due to which the demand for mail ultimately only grew and there was a need to improve and expand the postal infrastructure.
Because we like to scold everyone, we expressed a lot of dissatisfaction with the quality of the postal service. In this case, we should be concerned with the question: “What to do”? We were told that we should report our specific complaints to [email protected] Managers of the Russian Post claim that all information that is reported to this address is checked. And in case of serious violations, it even comes to the dismissal of careless postal employees. So if you want to improve the quality of service, don’t be silent.
Also, of course, the post offices themselves in most cases leave much to be desired. But funds are now being allocated for the reconstruction of the departments. The post office is decorated in a single corporate style, equipped with modern furniture, new equipment and electronic queuing systems.
Well, to sum it up, I really enjoyed the excursion. In general, it would be better to split it into 2 days, because we were given a lot of information, it’s difficult to absorb everything at once. But the impressions will last for a long time. Many thanks to the organizers!
