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.

DHL Express will update its prices, effective January 2025. In Norway, the average price increase will be 6.9% for both Time Definite and Day Definite products.
The price change applies to all discounted rates and agreements, where contracts allow.

Learn About What’s New
We have temporarily suspended DHL Express shipments to and from Belarus and for inbound and domestic shipments to/within Russia.
Currently, a malware is circulating by SMS impersonating DHL. The spam SMS asks the recipient to follow a link to a hacked website from where an app can be downloaded. When downloading, the app asks for several permissions, including viewing and sending SMS. We strongly advise not to follow the link in the SMS nor download the app, as it is a part of a scam.
