“With the annual price adjustment, we are able to invest in our infrastructure and technology to ensure resilient, sustainable, and world-class customer solutions. It includes state-of-the-art aircraft and vehicles, expanding our hubs and gateways to meet increasing customer demand, and investing in green and more sustainable solutions, such as sustainable aviation fuel and electric vehicles,” Lockett added.

DHL Express adjusts its prices annually, taking into consideration inflation and currency dynamics, as well as administrative costs related to regulatory and security measures.

These measures are being updated regularly by national and international authorities in each of the more than 220 countries and territories that DHL Express serves.

Depending on local conditions, price adjustments will vary from country to country and will apply to all customers where contracts allow.

A limited number of optional services and surcharges will be adjusted as well and for more information, the company said.
