DHL Express

Important Information

DHL Express does not accept international shipments of Controlled Military Items subject to export controls.

This suspension does not include domestic shipments of Controlled Military Items or international shipments of licensed dual-use items.

If you are uncertain whether your shipment contains military items subject to export controls, please contact your national licensing authority (and/or the licensing authority in the country of origin and destination of the military items) to verify.

To ensure operational continuity during a period of high demand, DHL will be activating a Demand Surcharge (formerly known as Peak Season Surcharge) effective September 15, 2024 until January 31, 2025.
