(US) Does this mean it’s cleared customs?

Hey yall!
I’ve ordered my first rep from Hont and just want to confirm the meaning of the status update from Cainiao.

Does import clearance customs complete mean it’s actually cleared customs? I’m just weary as USPS hasn’t received the package, according to 17track. I would think there’s no way the package would clear customs in under 4 hours. Not really pressing as I know shipping takes time, but just curious and wanting to learn more about the process.

"Import customs clearance completed" means that a shipment has passed through customs and is ready for delivery to the recipient.

Two second Google search gave me the quick answer and is English your second language.

Hey I’ve seen a lot of posts that people will get to this point and not get an update for 2 months. I just wanted to check and make sure from other people who have used cianiao specifically as a shipping service. Also you should notice this is the flame free zone! Didn’t need the comment at the end! English is my first language, and was quite obvious by my word choice and grammar structure! No need to be a dick!

1. YOU: seen a lot of people who didn't get an update for two months - yet YOU received an update today and asked what does it mean when it only takes two seconds to get a response on Google.

2. This is an international forum and asking if English was your first language wasn't being mean but a legitimate comment. (so there was no flaming going on). You could have used an app to post in English.

3. I didn't attack you with a rude personal comment (calling me a dick) and it would be in your best interest to treat the members here with respect or your time here @burnoot will be short lived.

1) I have seen people with this update “Import Customs Clearance Complete” and get nowhere for 2 months. They complain because their TD won’t comp them for the watch even though it’s likely it’s been confiscated. They’ve waited on this update for 2 months with no avail according to my research on the forum. I just wanted an update from people who have gone through the process not someone to google for me, I’ve tried and not gotten specific answers on it. Cainiao is an international shipping platform and from what I read updates are a little unreliable.
2) It says “(US)” in the title plus it says “United States” in the screenshot. I know there are plenty of people in the United States who don’t have English as their first language, but it’s ~80 percent of people in the US’s first language. So it’s not an illogical jump to take your comment rudely. I am sorry that I did. Nonetheless was the comment needed?
3) I do not know you, thus I have no baseline for who you are as a person. And also have no respect built up for you. I will not give someone respect based on a title. You made a comment that I took as rude. I ran it by a couple of my friends and they all said they would feel the same. Commenting about a 2 second google search feels like an insult to my intelligence as if I haven’t searched already, even though google doesn’t in fact have the correct answer.

@asusundevils1971 I was not trying to start beef or be rude, I’m sorry for taking your comments the wrong way. Thank you for trying to help me with the subject. I just wanted to get anecdotal evidence of what the update truly means from others who have used the service. I’m very skeptical it passed customs in under 4 hours.
