Two new charges will be introduced in 2025:

  • Non-Conveyable Piece is a new surcharge that applies to any piece within a shipment with an actual weight between 56 lbs. and 150 lbs. for exports and 25 kg and 70 kg for imports. The surcharge does not apply to pieces already subject to Overweight or Oversize Piece surcharge.
  • Non-Routine Entry is a new Customs charge that applies when shipments are subject to non-routine clearance procedures, due to their value, weight and/or commodity as defined by destination Customs authorities. It may also apply in selected countries where DHL is legally obliged to outsource formal clearance entries to a licensed third-party broker.

  • New Oversize Piece description:
    • A fixed surcharge is applied to every piece, including a pallet, with a single dimension in excess of 40 inches for shipments originating in the U.S. and U.S. Territories (100 cm for shipments originating outside of the U.S. and U.S. Territories).

  • New Permit & Licenses description:
    • DHL will file necessary information – for example, permit/license details— and obtain approval, as required, for import of selected controlled commodities, such as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, computer monitors, laser devices, cosmetics, eyeglasses, food or other products regulated by the FDA, EPA or other government agencies. All PGA data is managed (submissions and responses) electronically. The charge applies to the duty and taxpayer.
