Prepare Your Shipment
It is essential that the shipment and any relevant paperwork are ready for when your courier calls or when you drop off your package at a DHL SERVICE POINT location.
Whether you are packing the shipment yourself or you are using DHL branded packaging, please ensure that your shipment contents are adequately protected.

The good news is that if you ship online, you will be able to create the necessary paperwork as you go along.

You can also learn more about shipment paperwork and customs, as well as access an easy-to-use online customs paperwork tool.
