What Documents Do I Need?

Be prepared before you ship!

Along with a transport label, shipments may also need other documents such as a customs invoice or destination specific documents to accompany the shipment. 
  1. Labels
  2. Customs Invoice
  3. Sanctions Documents

A transport label contains all the information DHL needs to know to keep your package moving through the network to its ultimate destination.

Information typically included on a label:
  1. Shipper’s and Receiver’s address and contact  information
  2. A full description of the shipment contents – what the goods are and quantity of each included
  3. Number of packages/pieces in the shipment, total weight of the shipment and dimensions
