Shipping from Nigeria to Germany with DHL is a fast and reliable way to send parcels, documents, or commercial cargo. However, there’s no fixed public DHL price list, as shipping costs vary based on several shipment-specific factors. At Travo.ng, we help you estimate accurate rates and complete your booking with ease.
How DHL Shipping Rates Are Calculated
DHL uses a pricing model based on the greater of:
1. Actual Weight vs. Volumetric Weight
If your package is light but bulky, you’re billed based on volumetric weight, calculated as: Volumetric Weight (kg)=Length × Width × Height (in cm)5000\text{Volumetric Weight (kg)} = \frac{\text{Length × Width × Height (in cm)}}{5000}Volumetric Weight (kg)=5000Length × Width × Height (in cm)
Whichever value is higher—actual or volumetric weight—is used to determine the shipping rate.
2. Service Type
DHL offers options like Express Worldwide, Time-Definite (by 9:00 or 12:00), and Economy Select. Faster delivery services cost more.
3. Package Dimensions
Larger packages occupy more space in cargo, affecting the price.
4. Destination Zone
Germany falls under a European shipping zone. The farther or more remote the location within Germany, the higher the delivery surcharge.
5. Surcharges
These include fuel surcharges, insurance (if selected), and special handling (for fragile or hazardous items).
6. Customs Duties & VAT
These are assessed by German customs upon arrival. They are not included in DHL’s shipping rate and may be billed separately to the receiver.
