I've never had anything come from china via DHL before and the current status of my parcel (mavic) is:

Uncontrollable Clearance Delay

Any idea what this means? Is it a normal customs check or something?

Many thanks

It could mean delay due to bad weather (beyond their control).
There has been a quite severe Typhoon, and flights have been cancelled.

Think that could be something to do with customs, it's fairly standard.

This undicates Problems with customs. Maybe missing papers from DJI side or just delay at foreign customs.

Not good to hear. Hoped DJI has some  experience with international shipments. Normally nonproblems with DHL and international freight. But papers Must be correct. Otherwise you experience Delay.

It's probably about the batteries, they must be accompanied by a specific documentation, if that documentation isn't available (Mavic and its batteries are a new product) the package cannot be shipped in a cargo airplane.Another reason that could generate that exeption is the custom charges: if the documentation doesn't prove that the exportation taxes have been paid by the sender, the received will be called to pay the aboard taxes and the VAT (where available).

I've had a XK Detect X380 delivered from Hong Kong by DHL. Was the fastest delivery I ever had from the far east. 9 days. Compared to the usual 14-28 days. I hope my Mavic is delivered by DHL.

I'm in the same boat. If you look at the time you'll notice that the first message was on Saturday 10pm and the second one on Monday 9am. Provided they don't work on Sundays, hopefully this will be resolved today...

I think you're right. Status update is now more than 6h old, I'm beginning to worry again. Only hope is, that the status is not yet updated - DHL (and all the others) are a bit slow when it comes to updating shipping status.

Speaking to the shipping guys at work who deal with DHL  day to day they seem to think DHL require a nominated company who will be responsible for duty and import costs before they ship. This is normally a 3rd party broker nominated by the exporter.

yes that would seem likely going by the description, odd though as DJI must use DHL all the time!
