Learn how to download your DHL customs shipping documents and dispute DHL charges.

Download DHL customs documentation 

Shipping disputes can be an inconvenience, but they are easier to manage when you can easily find your online customs shipping documents and confirm what the problem is.

DHL has tools that enable users to download images of the commercial invoice, in-country clearance documentation, etc. Although you'll almost always get a copy of the commercial invoice at a minimum, the availability of the forms varies from shipment to shipment. When it comes to analyzing and resolving duty and tax discrepancies, these forms are extremely valuable.

The steps below outline how to obtain these files:

1. Login to mybill.dhl.com
2. Select Search from the menu items at the top of the screen.
3. Enter the Air waybill (AWB) number into the air waybill search field and select Search. This will populate all invoices tied to that shipment.
4. In the Invoice Type field, select Duty Invoice to display all of the invoices (or documents) attached to this AWB.
5. Find the AWB number that you’d like to download documents for and select Image in the download column. This will pop up a new window titled Waybill Downloads.
6. Select Customs to download all relevant customs forms for that shipment. The files should automatically download for you, but they will also be located in the downloads section of the website if you need to access them later.
7. Share the files with the appropriate people.
