Definition & Explanation
Process status indicates the current phase of a shipment within an administrative or logistics procedure—typical values include "under customs control," "submitted for clearance," or "released." It reflects the processing stage, flags outstanding deadlines, and often indicates the next required action. Freight forwarders query status via customs portals or their own transport management systems to catch delays early and keep clients informed. Unlike shipment tracking in a carrier system, process status refers to the administrative procedure rather than the physical location of the goods.
