Any German readers? Is this in response to the removal of de minimus or something else related to the varying tariff scene? Had some issues re de minimus here in Canada and I thought Australia made a similar decision recently?

Yes, it's exactly this.

"Due to new customs regulations, DHL is significantly restricting parcel shipping from Germany to the USA. Effective August 22, Deutsche Post and DHL Paket will no longer be able to accept and transport parcels and so-called International Goods Mail from business customers to the USA, the company announced." [translated from German]

Here's the complete article in German:
