Additional Notice

Due to the ongoing situation, international shipments to and from many Middle Eastern destinations remain highly restricted.
Even if shipments are collected from origin countries, they may be held at intermediate transit hubs.

Additionally, shipments to Turkey and parts of North Africa that normally transit through the Middle East may also experience delays or holds due to flight cancellations.

DHL is working to establish alternative routing options, and we will provide further updates as soon as new information becomes available.

Recommendation

Until the situation stabilizes, we recommend temporarily postponing shipments to the Middle East and North Africa regions that rely on Middle Eastern transit routes.
