Track SFC (SendFromChina) parcels through customs clearance and PostNL final-mile delivery.

SFC (SendFromChina) consolidates cross-border e-commerce parcels under an origin waybill (SFC8AA0394820198) and injects them into PostNL (3SSFC9482019482) via Amsterdam Schiphol linehaul offload to PostNL sorting. Querying lastscanned with ?carrier=sfc returns origin export and linehaul events, while querying the PostNL tracking number returns domestic final-mile delivery scans.
