item marked as gift seemingly stuck in customs.
 

hi. so i bought a laptop in the us and shipped it to a friend who then shipped it via dhl to me. had them mark it as "gift" to try and avoid customs charge. it was expected to be delivered today but no sign of that happening especially since i got the "clearance delay"

is it too early for me to panic? ive been on google all day and the more i read, the more i get worried. also, its been showing "1 piece" right up to the last entry where its ommitted. could it be missing in that case?
