I ordered some items via the internet, and I was informed that my courier (i.e. non-postal) parcel was detained. Why are the items detained?
If your courier parcel has been detained by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) or another regulatory authority, a warehouse deposit receipt will be issued by the ICA to your courier service provider. The courier should then advise you on the required follow-up actions.
To enquire about a detained courier parcel, request the following from your courier service provider and share them with the relevant regulatory authority as stated in the warehouse deposit receipt:
Shipment details;
Warehouse deposit receipt or notification issued by ICA; and
Any other information provided by your agent on the detained courier parcel.
