it means that it is with cusotms for clearance, it may be cleared straight through or be flagged for inspection

It can take a while to go through having said that so don't bank on the goods tomorrow.

How long does it take to clear on average after you are notified?

[k7suf]

normally it takes 2-3 days to clear. I havent used ems for a while but i doubt its changed much.

As long as the goods are safe for entry to the country it will be fine. May hit you with duties though, had some in the past while was in UK that were and some were not.
