The carrier serves individual consumers, online merchants, and large commercial enterprises.

Where Aramex delivers
Aramex operates an extensive global network with strong roots in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. For cross-border deliveries across Europe, East Asia, and the Americas, Aramex utilizes a combination of direct logistics centers and regional partner couriers. When an Aramex package travels across borders, export clearance is handled at regional hubs before long-haul transport. Upon arrival in the destination country, import clearance takes place, after which the parcel is either delivered by an Aramex courier or transferred to a local postal operator for final delivery.

What each status means
- Record created
- The shipment is registered but may take a few hours to show its first physical scan, new Aramex numbers often activate with a delay.
- Held in customs
- The shipment awaits clearance or duty payment; Aramex contacts the receiver when documents or payment are needed.
How long is normal for Aramex?
Tracking updates often pauses while packages travel long distances, clear customs, or transfer between logistics facilities. A brief gap between scans is a normal part of international transit and does not mean your package is lost.
Days 1 to 2
The shipment label is generated or picked up. Scans may be limited while the parcel moves from the local courier vehicle into the initial Aramex sorting hub.
Days 3 to 5
The parcel is in long-haul air transit or clearing customs. Milestone updates may pause while the package travels across international airspace or awaits import inspection.
Days 6 to 10
If there has been no scan update for over 5 days during international transit, verify customs status or check if a local partner carrier tracking number has been issued.
After 10 days
Contact the merchant or sender to request a formal Aramex trace inquiry if transit updates have completely stalled without explanation.
Aramex tracking not updating?
It can be worrying when a package scan stops updating. Pauses in Aramex tracking usually occur during international customs review, long-distance transport legs, or handoffs between courier networks.
- Customs clearance delay
- Import authorities may hold packages for inspection, valuation review, or missing paperwork, which temporarily halts scan updates.
- In-transit flight gaps
- Packages moving on international flights will not receive physical scans until they land and are unloaded at the destination hub.
- Last-mile courier handoff
- When Aramex transfers a parcel to a partner postal network, tracking updates may pause until the local courier scans the item.
- Weekend and holiday pauses
- Sorting facilities and customs offices in some regions operate limited hours on weekends, causing temporary update gaps.
What to do next
- Verify that your tracking number was entered correctly without extra spaces or symbols.
- Check if your confirmation email lists a secondary local tracking reference number.
- Allow 24 to 48 hours for customs authorities to process and release international packages.
- Reach out to the original seller or shipper so they can initiate an official Aramex investigation if necessary.
Aramex customs & handoffs
International Aramex shipments follow a structured multi-step process. First, the item receives an export scan when departing the origin country sorting hub. It then moves through international air or surface transport to the destination country gateway, where import clearance takes place under local customs supervision.
Once customs releases the parcel, Aramex processes the package through its destination network. In regions where Aramex does not operate direct last-mile delivery vehicles, the parcel is handed over to a partner carrier or national postal system. parceltracking.com monitors your package across these handoffs so you can view the complete journey in a unified tracking timeline.
