DHL resumes postal goods shipping to US with new duty-paid service
To comply, DHL has introduced its Postal Delivered Duty Paid (PDDP) service for the US, previously available only in Norway, the UK, and Switzerland. The service requires senders to cover customs duties in advance, provide full customs data, and use correct tariff codes. Goods up to $800 are now subject to customs duties, with only private gifts up to $100 exempt, DHL said in a press release.
DHL Group’s Post & Parcel Germany division will resume postal goods shipping from Germany to the US from September 25, after a four-week suspension due to new US customs rules.
A new Postal Delivered Duty Paid (PDDP) service is mandatory, requiring businesses to prepay import duties and provide full customs data.
Goods up to $800 now incur duties, with only private gifts up to $100 exempt.
The PDDP service costs €2 per shipment, with additional fees and duties passed to customers without markup. DHL stressed that parcel prices to the US remain stable, with extra costs arising solely from external regulatory changes.
Private shipments valued up to $100 declared as gifts remain unaffected, though monitoring will intensify to prevent misuse. DHL Express and other DHL divisions are not impacted, added the release.
