2026-10-01 – DHL Freight: Delays to Shipments at the Turkey-Bulgaria Border

Applies to DHL Road Freight Standard, DHL Road Freight Priority, DHL Road Freight Standard Pallet International, and DHL Road Freight Direct.

The Kapıkule - Kapitan Andreevo border crossing between Turkey and Bulgaria is undergoing reconstruction to increase capacity. As a result, traffic to and from Turkey is experiencing delays, and we need to allow for waiting times of approximately 4 to 6 days.

The project began in late August and is expected to continue for approximately 11 months.
