How to Create a Label-Free Shipment with DHL Express

When shipping with DHL Express, it's mandatory to have a copy of the waybill and two copies of the customs invoice ready at the time of shipment handover.

If you do not have access to a printer, opt for the label-free shipping service for a digital option.

Follow this guide for detailed instructions.

To get started, visit MyDHL+ and create a shipment as normal.

Provide the details of the shipper and consignee, input shipment information, prepare or upload a customs invoice, and choose a service.

Once these steps are complete, you can select a handover option. Note that label-free service is only available for 'shipments with pickup' or those booked with the 'drop-off option'.
