DHL SHIPPING
DHL is the global market leader of the international air express
industry, operating in more than 220 countries and territories
worldwide. Every shipment sent via DHL is governed by service
standards, set according to the origin and destination. A shipment
delivered to Hong Kong from Paris, for example, has a delivery
service standard of 24 hours. DHL operates in some of the most
remote parts of the world, so pick-ups from and deliveries to
these places may take longer than expected. DHL Worldwide
Express provides the following major services. Additional services
are available in various countries, so please visit your country site to find out more.
Worldwide Document Express
Worldwide Document Express sets the standard for speed, convenience, and unrivaled reliability. Use it to express international door-to-door delivery of non-declarable items such as documents, invoices, contracts, and reports. As non-declarable items can vary from country to country, if you are unsure, please contact your local customer services department for assistance. If you use DHL to send urgent lightweight documents on an ad hoc basis, DHL's Express Documents service is the ideal solution. As long as the documents weigh no more than 250g, the Express Documents service offers you an attractive alternative with a favorable fixed-rate tariff.

Additional checkpoints are added as the shipment progresses through to its destination, enabling DHL to provide you with detailed information on the whereabouts of your shipment, should this be required.

All DHL services are subject to DHL's Standard Conditions of Carriage. Further information can be supplied by your local DHL office.
