The information above shows the package's tracking ends in LEIPZIG Germany on April 14 2016, that was 1 week ago. Package is a transit, origins Turkey, destination USA.
DHA can not provide any information and says it is held by German customs,but failing to update the tracking or provide any documentation at all to confirm this statement.
Also the shipments in-transit should not be subject to customs VAT or TAX inspection as EU is not an origin, neither final destination.
Interestingly enough, after brief google search I have discovered that at least 7 DHL customers have reported same issue on the same date around the same time in Leipzig, Germany.
