When sending internationally, whether it’s a gift or not, packages are subject to duties and taxes as determined by the Customs in the country you are sending to.
The shipment is cleared through Customs based on the content descriptions, origin country, value and quantity of each item.
Accurate content descriptions per item. Each item description should answer these three questions: What is it? What is it for? What is it made of?
The information you provide is used to create a Customs invoice for your convenience, therefore accuracy is important to avoid delays.
Remember, Customs duties and taxes are always payable by the receiver and the amount, if any, is decided by the destination country’s Customs office.
Come prepared with this information

Provide accurate content descriptions

DHL will use your content descriptions to assign commodity codes to ensure smooth Customs clearance of your parcel and that correct duties and taxes are applied, if applicable.
Include materials, specifications, intended use etc.

Understand Customs duties and taxes
Documents are letters, statements or correspondence that have no commercial value.
Non-documents are products or goods for personal or commercial use.
If you have a DHL account, you can pay duties and taxes on behalf of the receiver.
Note that Customs regulations in some countries may classify a document as a non-document based on its destination, weight and value. For example, educational materials, magazines, books or documents intended for resale are also classified as non-documents and will incur Customs duties and taxes. If you are in doubt about how to classify your parcel then speak to our Customer Service team.
