Track DAI Post (Direct Access International) cross-border parcels through Melbourne and Sydney customs into Australia Post eParcel.

US, UK, European, and Asian D2C brands use DAI Post (Direct Access International) for customs-cleared direct postal injection into Australia and New Zealand. Once cleared at DAI Post's Melbourne (Tullamarine) or Sydney (Matraville) bonded gateways, parcels are lodged directly into Australia Post eParcel (`33...`) or NZ Post.

How the DAI Post → Australia Post handoff works

Follow the parcel across both networks without waiting on asynchronous webhooks or losing visibility at the handoff boundary.

1. Origin hub dispatch & pre-manifesting
DAI Post receives the parcel in Los Angeles, London, Hong Kong, or Shenzhen and pre-allocates an Australia Post `33...` eParcel barcode.
2. Bonded customs clearance in Melbourne or Sydney
DAI Post clears Australian Border Force (ABF) import declarations at its Tullamarine (MEL) or Matraville (SYD) bonded depot.
3. Australia Post eParcel induction
Sorted cages are injected directly into Australia Post state hubs for 1–3 day metro delivery.

const originRes = await fetch(`https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/${encodeURIComponent(number)}`, { headers });
const originPkg = await originRes.json();

// Extract secondary barcode from top-level message ("Cleared Customs - Lodged with Australia Post eParcel")
