DHL expands scope of U.S. importers tool
DHL has increased the scope of its Web-based importers tool so that it now serves 95 countries worldwide, including the top 30 U.S. trade lanes.
Launched in the fall 2006, Import Express Online allows DHL’s import customers to specify all instructions for their shipments, including terms of sale, pickup schedule, service levels and amount of insurance desired. All waybill numbers for tracking are accessible in the system during the entire shipment process, with automatic shipment status notifications sent via email throughout the shipment lifecycle.
Countries added in the last year since the Import Express Online launch include Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Finland, Italy, Kenya, Latvia, Morocco, Norway, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom.
