Does FedEx x-ray packages?

Because of the volume of shipments they manage every day, FedEx will not x-ray domestic parcels shipped by road. However, due to customs regulations, most international FedEx parcels will be scanned when they are shipped abroad. In the US, all air cargo has to be screened before being shipped. Following US and EU regulations, packages and cargo are inspected and can be scanned in customs.

Customs clearance delays when shipping with FedEx

Sometimes a package can get stuck at customs for multiple reasons. When this happens, FedEx will mark the delivery tracking with “Clearance delay”. This may happen simply because the volume of parcels is too high and FedEx is facing internal delay or because something is wrong with the parcel: it can be damaged, prohibited items can have been found during scanning or customs duties are waiting to be paid.

One of the best ways to make sure FedEx will not take too long during customs clearance and delay your delivery is to hire a customs brokerage service. By doing so, an agent will always be on top of your FedEx courier delivery, making sure any setbacks that may happen during customs clearance get solved immediately.

What to do when my package is not delivered by FedEx?

There are many possible reasons for a package not to be successfully delivered. It may be that it was stuck in customs, the consignee was not present at the address, or the package may even be lost.

If you had booked a package courier service with FedEx that was not delivered, you should contact the courier company and file a claim, if necessary. The claim procedure can be started if your shipment is lost, damaged, violated, etc.

Can I still send packages to the UK with FedEx, even after Brexit?

Although Brexit has heavily impacted the shipping and logistics industry, FedEx still ships packages and cargo to and from the UK after Brexit. The main difference is that packages to and from the UK are now subject to VAT and customs charges, which makes shipping with FedEx to the UK after Brexit a bit more time-consuming but still possible. If you want more information about the Brexit shipping rules, you can check our dedicated page.
