  • Items under pressure, such as airtight boxes, perfumes, animal spare parts, and explosive items, are not allowed in the international network.

  • Furthermore, shipments of gold, silver, precious metals, and cash are strictly prohibited on the DHL Express network.

COUNTRY-SPECIFIC RESTRICTIONS

Russia: It should be noted that no shipments will be made to individuals in Russia. DHL exclusively delivers to businesses in this country.
