Shipping with DHL from Nigeria to the USA is one of the fastest and most secure options for sending parcels internationally. However, there’s no fixed price per kilogram due to multiple factors that affect the final cost. At Travo.ng, we simplify this process by helping you get precise, real-time quotes tailored to your shipment.
What Affects DHL Pricing per KG?
1. Weight vs. Volumetric Weight
DHL uses the greater of:
- Actual Weight: The physical weight of the parcel.
- Volumetric Weight: Calculated using the formula:
Volumetric Weight (kg)=Length × Width × Height (cm)5000\text{Volumetric Weight (kg)} = \frac{\text{Length × Width × Height (cm)}}{5000}Volumetric Weight (kg)=5000Length × Width × Height (cm)
This ensures large but lightweight parcels are priced appropriately for the space they occupy.
2. Package Dimensions
Bulky items may be charged at a higher rate, even if they are light. It’s essential to measure the length, width, and height accurately.
3. Service Type
DHL offers multiple services like:
- Express Worldwide
- Time-Definite (e.g., by 9:00 a.m. or 12:00 p.m.)
- Economy Express
Faster delivery options cost more.
4. Surcharges
Additional fees may apply for:
- Fuel and remote delivery
- Insurance (if selected)
- Handling of special goods
5. Destination Zone
Shipping costs also depend on the U.S. delivery address. Remote or non-urban areas may incur higher fees.
