It's a black hole for seed shipments from overseas. If you're having an issue with your shipment going through Chicago you wouldn't be the first.

I had 3 orders held up Chicago OHare. Filed a query online on the USPS website. All 3 eventually made it to me. They emailed survey requests each time asking if I was satisfied too. Never ended up losing a seed shipment but thankfully nobody in the USA has to resort to ordering from overseas anymore.

I just had a Kwikseeds order make it to me after about 10 days at Chicago ISC. Anytime I see Chicago ISC show up on tracking I get nervous. That place is the worst combination of incompetent and corrupt, you never know if they lost your package or stole it but they never actually open it up and send it to you empty with the letter. I lost two orders to them last year and stopped buying overseas except for this Kwikseeds order I took a chance on.

Thank you for the update
I've changed My shipping address from the worst IMF in the US ( SHITCAGO) to My Mom's address in Ontario Canada. At least when she forwards My order it'll go through Buffalo New York

From the OP and subsequent posts it looks like you mean parcels coming into the country through the international terminal at O'Hare. Besides customs taking their time you have the worst possible USPS DC in the country located in Chicago. All throughout USPS they're having major issues with employee retention as the USPS has been a failing financial model for years and as such have shifted over to hiring a ton of temp employees. The union employees get paid better and take all their time off, also taking a ton of free "covid" time away from work. So USPS fills in all the missing employees with a constantly rolling crew of temps who come and go. In the meantime our packages sit on pallets on a dock waiting for some employees to show up and unload/load and get the packages moving. Once it gets away from a DC it moves along better. It's getting them out of the DC that's the problem. That's where mail/packages stack up and sit without being scanned or moved until they get to the trailer that has your package on it.

You can call and start an investigation. Your local post office will call you and tell you little more than what a track result will tell you bit they can tell you whether it's just sitting there waiting for someone to open the truck and start working it or if it actually can't be found. I'm sure it's the former, there's no employees to work your package.
