Contact local DHL promptly to clarify the documents or details needed.

Verbatim wording is from the DHL Discover Malaysia page https://www.dhl.com/discover/en-my/ship-with-dhl/track/tracking-status (page title "DHL Express Tracking Status Explained | DHL Malaysia", dated 27 May 2024 on the page). The matching US path https://www.dhl.com/discover/en-us/ship-with-dhl/track/tracking-status returned 404 on 2026-11-10. A US Discover article on tracking international DHL shipments (dated 2026-10-12) is general and does not contain this glossary. The quote was not moved to a US page that lacks this sentence.
