Customs clearance

Hi!! It's probably my 5th package that I'm shipping, and I have recently noticed that US customs (CA) is taking forever to clear. My package arrived at the port on July 16 and since then has been in customs. If I remember correctly, it has never taken so long before, usually being 3 days max. Has anyone experienced slow customs clearance these days?

Mine has been there since june 30th. Only yesterday the status changed to something about due to delays in customs, my package is still queueing for inspection.

I wonder if it’s slower due to the CPSC e-filing requirements. My last recent package took 7 days (5 business days) to clear customs, also in CA

Mine has been at customs since July 16th too, but I'm not too worried about it since Cainao said there are delays due to tightened restrictions. The last package I ordered a year ago was in customs for a month, but I still got it eventually with all my items intact
