Have you got Processed Through Facility ISC Chicago Il (USPS) while tracking your package, and wondering what I mean and what to do next?
To begin with, let’s discuss what ISC Chicago Il (USPS) is, why it’s showing up, when you’ll receive it, or if it’s stuck, what you need to do.
When a package arrives from an international location and is heading somewhere, it has to go through customs to reach the destination; every country has customs offices.
Chicago Il (USPS) is one of the customs offices that process international mail and international packages in the USA. Therefore, don’t worry if you see this tracking status while tracking.
It is a normal tracking status that is displayed for every package/mail that comes from outside the country. This is because the package will be moved from there soon and arrive.
Let’s discuss this in more detail.
What is ISC Chicago il (USPS)?
ISC Chicago il is one of the International Service Centers where your packages will be kept until the verification process completes.
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.
Although the tracking shows a package is there. However, it is not confirmed that it is still there, so please be patient; once the package is sorted to be scanned, then the status will be updated.
ISC Chicago Il (USPS) is holding my package or mail. What should I do?
In most cases, packages are released within 72 hours. However, sometimes it takes longer. So if it has not been updated for 5 or 7 days you cannot say it’s stuck.
So stop worrying about your package being stuck at ISC Chicago Il; soon, you’ll be able to see its status as it is coming out of customs.
For clarification regarding why tracking doesn’t get updated and feels stuck at the ISC, contact customer support.
What would be the reason behind packages being stuck or taking longer to update?
The answer depends on whether they have identified anything suspicious or risky or may have any issues with ramp reports. Due to this, the package verification procedure is likely to get longer.
Once everything has been cleared, it will be handed over to USPS to be delivered.
Should I be concerned about the package getting stuck?
Even though the tracking shows that a package is stuck at ISC Chicago il, it does not mean that your package has got damaged. It only implies that packages are being checked thoroughly and need to go through the verification process.
No doubt, it seems like your package is stuck at ISC Chicago il; however, the vast majority of packages arrive in approximately 2-3 days.
So there is no reason to worry whenever you see this status continually showing up.

This was very helpful
I’m glad you find it useful:)
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???
There could be any issues with the package or packaging, contact the courier service provider to know more about this.
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.
I’ve also experienced the same in the last few months, therefore I would agree with this.
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.
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.
For now, I suggest you wait till the given timeframe and in the meantime contact the USPS support team for all updates.
