  • Hazardous Material Shipments
    • It is not possible to process hazardous material shipments through the SmartShip site at this time. However, DHL can accept hazardous shipments. To create an airbill for hazardous shipments, you must register and prepare your shipping order via DHL Web Shipping.
  • No paper airbill forms as of July 1, 2006
    • As of July 1, 2006, DHL paper airbill forms will not be accepted except in emergency situations. DHL SmartShip eliminates the use of paper airbill forms by creating an airbill online that can be printed and attached to your shipment. This airbill contains a bar code, which is scanned by DHL. The scanning eliminates data-entry errors and ensures proper tracking of the shipment.
  • Personal Shipments
    • It is not possible to process personal shipments with payment by credit card through the SmartShip site at this time. For personal shipments through DHL, you must register and prepare your shipping order via DHL Web Shipping.
