We at DHL Global Forwarding continue to negotiate with the carriers to mitigate the charges as best we can. Due to space restraints in most services today most of these increases are firm for the time being. Your local DHL Global Forwarding office will be updating your rates and will continue to keep you updated on our negotiation progress.
Thank you for your understanding and patience during these volatile times.

Tom Cichon
