Fedex — A specialized form is required for clearance from recipient - package delayed

We sent a packet from USA with tracking number[protected]. We paid more than $550 for getting it in a week to my parents who are sick with COVID.

The tracking status has been: "A specialized form/statement is required for clearance from recipient.
Recommended action: Please call FedEx Customer Service.".

When the recipient (my brother) called the customer service, they are not providing any information and asking us to email 2 people (manish.[protected]@fedex.com, sheetal.[protected]@fedex.com) who are nonresponsive.

This has been going for close to a week now. We used fedex because it is known for reliability, but this experience has been frustrating. can someone please help and tell me what information is needed.
