What Documents Do I Need?
Be prepared before you ship!
Along with a shipping label, shipments may also need other documents such as a customs invoice or destination specific documents to accompany the shipment.

A shipping label contains all the information DHL needs to know to keep your package moving through the network to its ultimate destination. A shipping label is commonly referred to as a waybill.
Information typically included on a label:
- Shipper’s and Receiver’s information, such as phone number, mailing address and email address
- A full description of the shipment contents – what the goods are and quantity of each included
- Shipment details including the number of packages in the shipment, total weight of the shipment and dimensions
- Desired transit and supporting services, including shipment protections
- Payment for services as well as destination duties and taxes
- If the shipment is dutiable (non-document), the value of the goods and associated codes
- When required, an export licence number, the receiver’s VAT (Value Added Tax) number or shipper’s EIN (Employer Identification Number)
Some shipments may require a General Sanctions and Export Controls Warranty and Indemnity Letter.
