Actions supported by the source
What you can do now
-
Follow the next Canada Post scan rather than continuing to interpret the shipment as held by customs.
-
Treat any later payment or information request as a separate event that needs its own source.
Limits of the status
What this status does not tell us
- The next processing location and time are not established.
- Delivery timing and outcome are not established.
In short: Customs release does not establish a delivery date, final-mile facility, out-for-delivery state, or delivery completion.
This page explains the carrier's published tracking wording. It is not a delivery guarantee and does not establish liability, compensation, or a required action unless the cited carrier source says so.
