If a package is held by customs for inspection it could be delayed for several weeks. You should contact the courier and find out if anything can be done to expedite the process. Typically they will request additional information such as what the product is, what it is for, how much it cost, a copy of the invoice or additional documentation. It is important your answers are consistent with our customs declaration.

Our products are dietary supplements for health and wellness. Values are declared in full and you can provide your order confirmation emails as an invoice.
