should we use holden or held for the past participle of hold? I saw my friend wrote this sentence: My new smartphone which bought from China has been holden by custom? Anything wrong with this sentence?

It is wrong-- "holden" is not a word. It should be "...that I bought * in China * was held by *customs" but really it should be " .. is being held..." if customs still has the phone.
