Does anyone know if the customs will contact you if they have a parcel that they want to investigate or how does one go about finding out?

If you are getting it sent to somewhere like Aramex customs will inspect it.   If there is anything inside that is banned they simply remove it, repackage it, and deliver it to the delivery address.

 

The don't open it in front of you or inspect it in your presence - they just take the illegal stuff out.

The forwarder will inform you to pick-up the airway bill from their office. They wil advise you to go to customs or for items like medicines you have to go the ministry of health located just near Lulu Center in Al Sadd.  They will just make a copy of your Qatar ID and they will release the items to you if it is not illegal.

The courier service company will inform you but should you have the airwaybill number with you, you may track them via the company's website.

 they will just inform you that you have a parcel you have to come and collect it. so either the chances are they will check it b4 calling you or they might check after calling you in ur presence.
