Customs at JFK Airport

[Bogalu]

For those who have ordered from China, how are the customs at JFK and how long should I have to wait before I get my package through customs?

[YKruss]

Only one of my three orders actually went to JFK custom and been their for just 1 hour based on the tracking, which is not that reliable,

Once in customs you might have to wait a few days...

Sometimes not.

My order came thru jfk and it was fast once it hit jfk.It was in florida in like 3 days once it posted jfk on the shipping page.

Well within a couple hours my package will have been in customs for 2 whole days. I'm getting scared and concerned that I wont get my package before I run out of juice.

I have had packages show up (ohio) and the usps web page says they are still in customs.

I'm tracking it with EMS which is the service the website uses to ship from china to US. So how would I be able to track my package from USPS?

Out of all my shipments that go through JFK, it only went to customs once. And it only sat there for a couple of days.

You must use the same tracking number as for EMS.

The same tracking number should work, since USPS is the United States' EMS shipper.

I think anything from a few hours to a few days is still within what is considered normal for going through Customs.

I do think if it were to be returned, there would be a notation on the tracking page.
