Ship via DHL Express International
DHL is our default carrier for international parcel from Paramount, CA. DHL Express Worldwide reaches most of Europe and Asia in 2-4 business days, with electronic customs paperwork generated automatically from order data and HS code mappings. You pay our negotiated DHL volume rates — typically the most cost-effective option for cross-border shipments above a few pounds — with DDP support so customers don't get surprise duty bills at the door.
What syncs automatically
DHL Express for cross-border shipments — fast international transit, electronic customs documentation, and negotiated volume rates from Paramount, CA.
International rate shop
DHL Express is rate-shopped against UPS Worldwide, FedEx International, and USPS International on every cross-border order.
Tracking numbers
DHL waybill numbers post back to your storefront within minutes and trigger customer notification emails with international tracking links.
Customs status
Customs clearance events flow back into our portal so your team sees what's stuck and where, instead of finding out from a customer ticket.
Electronic customs docs
Commercial invoices and customs declarations generate automatically from order data — no paper paperwork, no manual entry per shipment.
Why brands using DHL choose 3PLGuys
Best-in-class international transit
From Paramount, CA: DHL Express Worldwide reaches Western Europe in 2-3 business days, most of Asia in 2-4 days, and Latin America in 2-3 days. Faster and often cheaper than alternatives.
Negotiated DHL volume rates
Our DHL contract is priced for high-volume international shippers. You access those rates day one — typically the lowest cost per cross-border kilogram available without a top-tier direct DHL contract.
Electronic customs paperwork
Commercial invoices, customs declarations, and HS codes generate automatically from your product catalog and order data. No paper paperwork stapled to the box — fewer customs holds.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) capable
Offer your international customers DDP shipping — duties and taxes prepaid at checkout. DHL collects, we coordinate. Customers don't get surprise duty bills at the door.
On-demand customs clearance visibility
DHL's customs status events flow into our portal so when a shipment is held, you know why — missing HS code, undervaluation flag, restricted commodity — and can resolve before the customer asks.
Reduces returns and chargebacks abroad
Fast, traceable international transit with DDP option means fewer 'never arrived' tickets, fewer chargebacks, and fewer abandoned shipments at foreign customs.
How the integration works
Connect your DHL account and ship within days, not months.
Inherit our DHL Express rates
No need for your own DHL account. Our negotiated DHL Express Worldwide rate sheet applies the day you go live.
Map HS codes and DDP rules
We map your product catalog to HS codes for customs declarations. You decide whether international orders ship DDP (duties prepaid) or DAP (duties on delivery). Configurable per destination country.
Ship internationally without paperwork pain
International orders flow into our WMS like any other order. DHL labels and customs docs generate automatically. Tracking and customs status push back to your storefront.
Built for DHL sellers

Going from US-only to Canada, UK, Australia, or EU? DHL Express via our Paramount facility makes cross-border parcel viable without setting up an international fulfillment node.
High-value international orders
DHL's tracking, transit speed, and customs handling reduce loss and damage risk for high-value items going overseas — supplements, beauty, electronics, jewelry.
Brands wanting DDP at checkout
If you sell internationally and want to offer all-in pricing (no surprise duties), DHL DDP via our integration is the cleanest implementation. Customer pays once, no door-step bills.
