Can I still place Trade Assurance order when I get such a customs clearance notice?

Actually it won't affect you to place order. However, in view of the uncertainties around customs clearance policies worldwide caused by the current epidemic, please communicate fully with your seller and the local Custom Clearance department of your country on necessary measures and requirements prior to placing an order to ensure smooth customs clearance.
