DHL Express Announces Annual Price Adjustments for 2027 in Finland
Press Release: Helsinki, 25 September, 2026
DHL Express, the world's leading international express service provider, has announced a global adjustment to its shipping rates, effective January 1, 2027. In Finland, the average increase in express shipping rates will be 6.4% compared to 2026 levels.
DHL Express reviews its prices annually, taking into account factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, and developments in transportation-related costs. These costs include energy expenses, regulatory requirements, and administrative costs associated with customs clearance, compliance, and security. Price adjustments vary by country and are applied according to individual customer agreements.
"Global trade continues to grow, creating excellent opportunities for Finnish companies to benefit from new international business prospects. DHL continuously invests in people, technology, and infrastructure to ensure our customers can succeed in global markets. One concrete example is our nearly EUR 100 million investment in the Aviapolis area near Helsinki Airport, including a state-of-the-art terminal that strengthens Finland's connections to global markets and supports the international growth of Finnish businesses," says Oktay Nuri, Managing Director of DHL Express Finland.
“The annual price adjustment enables continued investments in our network, digital services, security, and sustainable logistics solutions. These investments help us respond to the demands of an ever-changing operating environment on behalf of our customers, whether driven by geopolitical developments, disruptions in global trade, or new regulatory requirements. This allows us to maintain the high level of service our customers expect and helps ensure the reliability and resilience of their supply chains in a rapidly changing world.”
To support customer growth and maintain a world-class international network, DHL Express continues to invest significantly in its global infrastructure, fleet modernization programs, digital capabilities, and operational resilience. Recent milestones include the completion of deliveries of its fleet of 28 Boeing 777 freighters, the introduction of more fuel-efficient aircraft, and infrastructure expansions and upgrades across all regions.
DHL Express also continues to invest in industry-leading security capabilities. In 2026, the company surpassed 500 TAPA-certified facilities worldwide, reinforcing its position as the world's most TAPA-certified logistics provider through ongoing investments in advanced security technologies, infrastructure, and operational processes.
In parallel, DHL Express is strengthening its technology and IT infrastructure to enhance cybersecurity, system resilience, shipment visibility, and operational efficiency. Investments in digital customer solutions, including AI-enabled capabilities and the continued rollout of the MyExpress platform, are helping customers simplify cross-border shipping and improve their shipping experience.
Sustainability remains a core priority for DHL Express. The company continues to invest in fuel-efficient aircraft, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), electric vehicles, carbon-neutral facilities, and other initiatives designed to reduce emissions across its operations while supporting customers in achieving their own sustainability goals.
