A major winter storm causing heavy snow and ice, freezing temperatures and hazardous conditions may impact our operations in the central U.S including our main regional Hub in Cincinnati.  As a result, DHL delivery service may be delayed. The safety of our employees and partners is our top priority, and contingency plans have been put in place to minimize this storm’s potential impact.

We encourage those within the areas of impact to take all necessary measures to remain safe and heed the warnings of your local authorities. The DHL Express International Service Guarantee does not apply for late shipment delivery of DHL Express shipments caused by natural disasters or weather.

We will provide further updates, as available.

We have resumed limited outbound services from select locations in Ukraine to other countries.

When shipping, several regulations & policies must be observed. Therefore, DHL reserves the right to physically inspect any item tendered for carriage. Shipments lodged by our cash or credit card paying customers require 100% physical inspection. This policy is aligned with the legal and regulatory requirements of numerous governments and other regulatory authorities for the express delivery industry to ensure only legitimate shipments are processed.

Shipments may also be subject to other security control methods deemed necessary, such as Sniffer Dogs or X-ray without prior notice to the Shipper, Consignee and/or Payer.

Please note: As Items sent as gifts (Birthdays, Festive or Seasonal Celebrations etc.) are also subject to the same inspection(s) as noted above, Shippers are therefore advised not to wrap gifts or seal shipments upon tendering.

We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Until further notice, DHL Express will not accept shipments of military items subject to national export (or extra-territorial re-export) controls. Customers will be notified as soon as the suspension is lifted.

This suspension does not include domestic shipments or shipments of licensed dual-use items.

If you are uncertain whether your shipment contains military items subject to national export controls, please contact your national licensing authority.
