DHL Customs Charges in the UK

When shipping internationally with DHL, it is important to be aware of the customs regulations in the destination country. In the United Kingdom (UK), DHL requires a customs invoice for all shipments of goods, except for those being delivered to the UK or the Channel Islands.

A customs invoice is a document that provides detailed information about the goods being shipped, including their value, weight, and country of origin. This information is used by customs officials to determine whether any duties or taxes are owed on the goods.

DHL offers two convenient options for creating customs invoices:

• Online Invoice Generator: DHL’s website provides an online tool that allows you to create a customs invoice for your shipment. This tool is easy to use and can be accessed from any computer or mobile device.
• In-Person Invoice Generation: You can also generate a customs invoice at any DHL Service Point. DHL staff will assist you in completing the invoice and provide you with a copy for your records.

Once you have created a customs invoice, you will need to attach it to your shipment. You can do this by placing the invoice in a clear plastic envelope and attaching it to the outside of the package.

DHL will then handle the customs clearance process on your behalf. If any duties or taxes are owed on the goods, DHL will collect these from the recipient and remit them to the appropriate authorities.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your international shipments clear customs smoothly and efficiently.
