The parcel has reached the destination country and Deutsche Post is passing it to the local customs office. It needs customs handling before it can be delivered. The message says you will be told in writing how and where to collect it.
This message by itself is normal for parcels that need customs handling. It is not a sign of loss or damage. It does add a step, so the parcel will not reach you as quickly as a standard delivery.
Most often, in about 84% of cases, the next update says the parcel has been handed over to customs and that a letter with your customs information is on its way to you. After that, customs clearance follows, and you may be asked to act on the letter.
