The moment your package enters the USA, you will receive updates at least once a day. Thus, if you do not receive any update for 2-3 days after entering ISC Chicago il (USPS), it could mean that the package is still in customs.

It takes about 24 to 48 hours to complete Customs, however sometimes longer. Once it gets done then it will leave the facility and enter into the next process.

The reason behind the delay is they have to unload the receptacles containing packages from inside the airplane, proceed through customs, and then handed it over to the United States Postal Service.

The mail is inside containers, so they are unable to scan the barcode before sorting it. After all the procedures are completed and the mail gets sorted, the tracking status will appear, such as inbound out of customs or others.

Note: Package/mail sorting is needed for the different locations. And also have to wait for a flight to take the packages to their final destinations.

  1. The Chicago ISC has returned my last 4 packages to the senders, for what reason, I have no clue! I have never had an issue until this year! WTF Chicago ISC???

  2. I’m finding that it takes anywhere from 8-14 days to clear customs at Chicago before it leaves and is handed off to USPS to be shipped to its destination. I’ve had 6 small packages delivered through there in the past two months, and it can definitely take a while.

  3. Mine says it’s been processed through isc Chicago but hasn’t had an update for over a week. I was hoping that maybe it would just show up at my house with no more tracking but that’s not the case here.

    • You may need to wait a while, since there may be many products to scan. There is a possibility that it is in the facility and that the tracking has not yet been updated. Just wait patiently.

  4. My package has been there for more than a month, what are they doing? I have had other packages clear though in the meantime and hope that others don’t get stuck there. They tell me it sometimes takes up to 45 days to clear, I have never had this problem until now.
