What does it mean that the parcel has arrived at the regional center. Left the sorting center
21
I don't see much point in knowing detailed description one or another postal status. The meaning of most of them is clear from the name, the meaning of others is not so important (again, for me).
However, many users want to understand what the parcel statuses they see when tracking mean. So I will give a description of the most frequent and popular statuses that you can find on various trackers.
Delivery to the addressee / Delivery to the recipient
The parcel has been received by the addressee (at the post office or delivered by courier)
Flew to destination country
The parcel will be delivered to the post office of the destination country. Next, it will be delivered to one of the places of international postal exchange for subsequent import/export operations.
Departed from the airport
The parcel has departed from the airport of the sender's country and is heading to the destination country. The status will not change immediately upon arrival at the airport of the destination country, but after the parcel is processed by the postal service. This may take from 3 to 10 days.
The parcel has departed from the airport of the sender's country and is heading to the destination country.
After the parcel leaves the territory of the sender's country and arrives at the destination country, it will be assigned a new track code, which is not registered anywhere. Accordingly, the parcel will not be tracked.
Issued by customs
Procedure customs clearance completed, the parcel will soon be transferred to the post office of the destination country for further delivery.
Ready for shipment
Ready to ship
Means that the parcel is packed, marked and will be sent soon.
Detained by customs
This operation means that the parcel is detained by customs officers to carry out measures to determine the destination of the parcel.
Upon receipt in international postal items during a calendar month of goods whose customs value exceeds 1000 euros, and (or) total weight which exceeds 31 kilograms, in part of such excess it is necessary to pay customs duties, taxes using a flat rate of 30% of customs value goods, but not less than 4 euros per 1 kilogram of their weight. If information about goods sent to the MPO is missing or does not correspond to actual information, this significantly increases the time spent on processing shipments, since there is a need for customs inspection and documentation its results.
Submission
The parcel was sent to the wrong zip code or address, an error was detected and it was redirected to the correct address.
Import international mail
The operation of receiving the item in the recipient's country.
All mail entering the territory Russian Federation from flights, begins the journey at the aviation post office (AOPP) - a special postal warehouse at the airport. Within 4–6 hours, shipments from the aircraft arrive at the AOPP, the containers are registered, and their integrity and weight are checked. Mail is registered in electronic database data. During registration, the barcode is scanned, data is entered on where the container is addressed (for example, MMPO Moscow), from which flight it arrived, about the country and date of formation of the container, etc. The time of these operations can be increased from 1 to 7x days due to the limited capacity of the AOPP.
The next operation after export from the country of origin, which is reflected on the website when tracking the shipment, is import into the destination country. Import information appears after the shipment is transferred by the carrier to the postal operator of the destination country. Operation “Import” means that the shipment arrived on the territory of Russia and was registered. International shipments arrive in Russia through the international postal exchange place (IMPO). There are several MMPOs in Russia: in Moscow, Novosibirsk, Orenburg, Samara, Petrozavodsk, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Bryansk. Choosing the city where exactly to go international shipment depends on the sender's country. The choice depends on the availability of regular flights and free carrying capacity in a particular direction.
Unsuccessful attempt of delivery
Assigned if the operator reported that there was an attempt to deliver the parcel to the addressee, but for some reason it failed.
Options for further action:
- New delivery attempt
- The parcel will be transferred for storage until demand or until the circumstances are clarified.

This means that the overseas sender (seller) has brought your parcel to the local post office. At the same time, he filled out all the necessary documents, including the customs declaration (forms CN 22 or CN 23). At this time, the shipment is assigned a unique postal identifier - a special bar code (Track number, Track code). It is located on the check (or receipt) issued upon acceptance of the parcel.

Export international mail
Indicates the actual dispatch of the parcel to the destination country.
The “Export” status includes the transfer of the parcel to a foreign carrier, which, by land or air transportation, transports it to the MMPO of the destination country. As a rule, this status is the longest and the transition to “Import” may take some time. This happens due to the characteristics of flight routes and the formation of the optimal weight for transporting it by plane. For example, shipments from China may be delayed due to the fact that cargo planes can carry at least 50 - 100 tons. On average, an export operation takes from 7 to 14 days, but sometimes this operation can take up to 60 days.
If the shipment is in the “Export” status, then it is impossible to track it (find out what exactly is happening to it); only at the import stage will you be able to see your package and monitor its further movement. The use of transit transportation and certain restrictions often delay shipments. However, if your parcel was sent more than 3 months ago, but has not received the “Import” status, then the sender needs to contact the post office and apply for a search.

What do postage statuses mean in English?
Both on Aliexpress and on popular trackers, all postal statuses are translated into Russian. So you won’t come across statuses in English often. And yet, I decided to add here a translation and transcript of the most popular of them.
Firstly, you can run into them when tracking the track number directly on the website of one of the foreign delivery services, where there is simply no Russian language.
Secondly, machine translation of some statuses does not add clarity to the word at all.
So I think the information presented below will be useful to someone. I also note that different delivery services use different names for essentially the same actions. Therefore, some statuses will be translated the same way so as not to create confusion.
Order information received by carrier
The parcel information has been received by the carrier.
The same as - Information about the postal item has been received, information about the order/parcel has been received. This status means that your parcel has been registered by the carrier and has been assigned a tracking number. However, the parcel itself has not yet been sent.

Most likely, they simply couldn’t get through to you.

Post office
The Russian state company, which is the operator of the postal network and a backbone enterprise, is Russian Post. What does it mean: “Left the sorting center”? Senders or recipients using postal services often encounter this status. If a client sends a parcel, letter or parcel, the shipment is assigned a special track number. You can use it to track your location.
Russian Post offers its customers various types of services (reception, processing, transportation, delivery, transfers), exchange of written correspondence, international mail.

Many people are interested in: does mail work well? What does it mean: “Left the sorting center”? This status may mean that the parcel or letter is already on its way and will soon arrive at its destination. Russian Post, despite criticism of this organization, works properly. Last year alone, it delivered more than 50% of orders from online stores. This is almost two hundred million parcels, one hundred and thirty million of which are international shipments.

Peculiarities
What does it mean: “Left the sorting center”? This is exactly the question that Russian Post clients, all who are recipients, are asking. The sorting center is automated. It sorts letters, parcels, parcels into branches and regional post offices and processes outgoing shipments from all over the country. After the sender places the envelope in the mailbox, it is removed, sent to the post office, weighed and date stamped. The letters are then taken to a sorting center.
More than a thousand employees work at this enterprise. The center occupies twenty-nine thousand square meters in area, and is located in Podolsk (Moscow region). What does it mean: “Left the sorting center”? This status means that the letter or parcel is sent to the recipient's post office. It is determined by the index. In addition to letters, parcels, parcels, EMS shipments, valuables, registered letters and shipments, they are processed at the center. Time sorting lasts twenty hours. Three million items pass through the center every day.
Statuses
Status “Left the sorting center” - what does it mean? Before the recipient receives the package, it will go through many different stages. For example, the status “sorting” means that the shipment is still in the sorting center. Parcels are placed in special export bags, which are opened, sorted and repacked. The status “Arrived at the sorting center” means that the parcel has been delivered for sorting and distribution. If the item "Arrived at the place of international exchange", it is being held at customs, within the country, or awaiting shipment abroad. The designation “Left the place of international exchange” confirms the export transaction.

What does it mean: “The parcel has left the sorting center”? If the recipient sees this status after entering the identifier number on the website, then the parcel will soon arrive at the post office. The final designation “arrived at the place of delivery” indicates that the recipient should go to the post office and pick up the item. In this case, do not forget to take your passport.
Identifier
If the parcel has left the sorting center, this means that it will soon reach the recipient. The shipment tracking number or postal identifier comes to the rescue. This is a unique number code that is assigned to all parcels. There is a domestic Russian track number and an international one. It is usually indicated on the receipt, which is issued after the shipment is registered. If the parcel was sent after purchasing an item in an online store, the client is sent an identifier with which you can track the shipment.
To do this, go to the Russian Post website, enter a number consisting of fourteen digits divided into semantic parts, click “OK”. After processing the information, the user will see information about the status of the shipment. If the status of “Lvovsky” does not change for a long time. Left the sorting center” means that the parcel is already at the post office. If the information is not updated for a long time, the shipment may have been waiting for the recipient for a long time.
How long does it take?
What does it mean: “Processing. Left the sorting center? If the recipient, after entering the unique ID number, finds such an inscription, this may mean that the parcel is still in the center or was recently sent. Parcels in Russia take about two weeks, depending on distance, weather conditions and other factors.
Letter
What does it mean: “The letter has left the sorting center”? This status sometimes means that the information on the site has not been updated for a long time. At the center, operators receive incoming letters, read the barcode, and register them. All data is uploaded to the official website of Russian Post. You can track the path of the letter using the identifier. Containers with written correspondence, express items and parcels are distributed between workshops. The email sorting process is automatic, but not completely. Staff scan each correspondence manually and log it.
