DHL Optional Services, Surcharges and Customs Services
As experts in international shipping, DHL Express offers a wide range of optional shipping services, surcharges and customs services. These are in addition to applicable transportation charges.
SURCHARGES
In order to maintain a consistently high level of service, in specific circumstances DHL Express levies a surcharge for exceptional activities, ensuring that these surcharges are fair for all of our customers.
CUSTOMS SERVICES
Shipping cross-border can seem complex, and incorrect customs paperwork is one of the main causes of delays for SMEs shipping across borders.
