How to Create a Label-Free Shipment with DHL Express

When shipping with DHL Express, a copy of waybill is mandatory for all shipments, be it documents or packages.

For packages, you must also provide two copies of the customs invoice along with the waybill. 

All documents must be 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.
