<p>I guess this should mean the inspection was successful and your package is directly(直)  (re)packaged(封)</p>

A translation is "departure from outward office of exchange". A Chinese explanation is "这表示包裹己经顺利的通过海关检查,重新打包好,交给航空公司,等待航班飞走", it means "this indicates the package passed the inspection by custom and had been repackaged, sent to airline and waiting the plane to fly"</p>

<p>According to <a href="http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/328602946847012725.html" rel="nofollow">Baidu Zhidao</a>, I think the most important point is that the package had not ever been <strong>unwrapped</strong> and sent out to your destination.</p>

<p>A Chinese explanation: "总包在国内已经出口国外之前已经封好，直接邮寄到当地国家，称为直封。也就是说从中国至目地国家的包裹，<strong>没有拆开过邮袋</strong>，到了目地国家才拆开，再由目地国家按地区分开，在按地区装袋封发，进行邮寄配送。"</p>

<p><em>My first question here, sorry if it's not a good fit.</em></p>

<p>I am tracking a parcel in Chinese, but I do not know what 已出口直封 means.</p>

<p>I know that 广州互换局 means Guangzhou exchange bureau/office, and 已出口开拆 means that the parcel has been opened by customs, but I don't know the other part.</p>

<p>For context:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>2016-04-10 13:03 广州互换局, <strong>已出口直封</strong></p>
  
  <p>2016-04-10 09:13 广州互换局, 已出口开拆</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I have checked Google Translate, but it just says <code>straight seal</code>, which is meaningless to me.</p>

<p>Translated.net also says <code>We have been exported straight seal</code>. I have no idea what this means though.</p>

This is a good question. The jargon makes native speakers confused too, so I think it's even helpful to native speakers. I would like to see a professional answer (like with some authoritative references?) to explain "what's going on with the package" other than its literal meaning.

Your question is fine. Thanks for showing some effort to translate the expression.

I have checked Google Translate, but it just says `straight seal`, which is meaningless to me.

Translated.net also says `We have been exported straight seal`. I have no idea what this means though.

According to [Baidu Zhidao](http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/328602946847012725.html), I think the most important point is that the package had not ever been **unwrapped** and sent out to your destination.

A Chinese explanation: "总包在国内已经出口国外之前已经封好，直接邮寄到当地国家，称为直封。也就是说从中国至目地国家的包裹，**没有拆开过邮袋**，到了目地国家才拆开，再由目地国家按地区分开，在按地区装袋封发，进行邮寄配送。"
