If you\u2019re planning on sending a parcel<\/strong> across the country or even abroad, it\u2019s a good idea to call on an express service<\/strong> that specialises in quick and user-friendly shipments. But how do you go about this? Can you send just any parcel via an express service? And what about those extensive checklists you have to fill out first? Get informed by reading all about the conditions and key considerations for express shipping here.<\/p>\n There\u2019s only so much that fits through the doors of vans and planes. That\u2019s why most express services will only ship parcels with a maximum length of 120 centimetres<\/strong>. At DHL Express, however, we pride ourselves on our flexibility. We are always happy to make special arrangements if your shipment is exceptionally large or heavy. Does your shipment weigh more than 30 kilograms<\/strong>? Then additional conditions apply, which our customer service will gladly explain to you in detail.<\/p>\n Tip: learn more about the weight and dimensional limits of your shipment<\/a>.<\/p>\n Are you about to ship any hazardous materials? Your parcel is in safe hands with DHL, an established carrier<\/strong> of dangerous goods. Consult our list of prohibited and restricted goods<\/a> to make sure your shipments are fully compliant. As the global market leader in transport and logistics, DHL adheres to the following regulations:<\/p>\n Please note: import and export <\/strong>is subject to strict regulations. Get informed beforehand<\/a>!<\/p>\n DHL\u2019s security policy prohibits the transportation of counterfeit goods via the DHL network. Customs will be informed<\/strong> by us if we have even the slightest suspicion of such goods being imported. Since transporting and selling counterfeit goods is illegal in most countries, customs authorities will likely seize the goods and penalize<\/strong> the buyer.<\/p>\n Food and pharmaceutical shipments<\/strong> tend to have very specific requirements because of temperature differences and expiry dates. Rest assured, though, because these goods are in safe hands with us as well. For instance, DHL Medical Express<\/strong> has been taking care of time and temperature sensitive shipments for the Life Science for many years now. On the one hand, this includes shipping pharmaceuticals for research as well as supplying hospitals with clinical materials. On the other hand, DHL<\/a> also transports samples <\/strong>to laboratories and research centres.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you\u2019re planning on sending a parcel across the country or even abroad, it\u2019s a good idea to call on an express service that specialises in quick and user-friendly shipments.
