Try to contact Libanpost and ask them. They must direct you.
@rtp, i join Houssam with his questions.. if i go through China or other shipment it's to avoid such customs.. Pls explain..
Thx
the shipment was with China post, Apparently you can track the item on libanpost website, you can go to the "track&trace" and choose "Other" and enter the tracking number... most of the item i shipped didn't show up there, i got a "no data found". however, one particular item that cost around $140 did show up with a statement of "Item handed over to Customs for clearance".

The problem is that am very short on time, I tried to call them three already but got "all our lines are busy", so my units are being eaten by these hopeless calls! They don't have 24/7 support, so i can't call them when i return home nor on saturday since i leave home around 7am and return around 1pm . So email is currently the only efficient way of communication, am quite shocked that they replied to my initial email and where helpful. Now i sent them another email on where to pay the customs but didn't receive anything back....
When the item reaches liban post office in the airport you will be able to track it using their system . I havent received my item yet but i can see that it arrived to leb yesterday and it is now heading to the regional distribution center.
"Item handed over to Customs for clearance" doesn't mean that one should go and pay customs. As noted by another user on lebgeek and an email from Liban Post.
Got my first item shipped from china after 55 days, plus another 3 that were shipped around 40 days ago
True, what about paying 1800$ for a chinese laptop?
Everything is being manufactured in china these days, cell phones, (samsung, nokia, LG) laptops (sony, hp, toshiba, asus)
So yes i paid for that and I don't regret it.
Guys i got two items.
Here are the tracking Info.

And


What do they mean?
I have that PEK in most of my shipment, no idea what it means!
PEK means it's in the plane. Back in mid 2013, whenever i had PEK meant that I'll receive the item in 10 days. However these days the 10 days window is not so accurate anymore.

Your items are still in beijing waiting for departure. Don't worry you will get them eventually.
@rtp, can you update us with the customs..? did you go and get your item, did you pay?
Thx
Is a PO box required to receive a shipment from china to lebanon ? or a proper address is enough ?
