What is the maximum weight and size limit for DHL shipments?

Asked 2 years ago
DHL has specific maximum weight and size limits for shipments, which can vary depending on the service being used. For most DHL Express services, the maximum weight limit for a single package is up to 70 kilograms, while the maximum dimensions typically allow a length up to 120 centimeters, and the combined length and girth must not exceed 300 centimeters. For pallets or larger freight shipments, DHL Freight offers different weight and size restrictions. Generally, the maximum allowable weight can range significantly, depending on the method of transport and service level selected. It is important to note that these limits may change and can be influenced by various factors such as the destination country. For the most accurate and updated information regarding weight and size restrictions for specific services, it is recommended to consult the official DHL website or look for the details provided in their shipping guidelines.
