DHL 2027 Shipping Rates
DHL Express Announces 5.9 Percent Shipping Rate Hikes in the Philippines for 2027
Anonymous
DHL Express will raise its average shipping rates in the Philippines by 5.9 percent starting Jan. 1, 2027, increasing costs for businesses and other customers using its international delivery services. The company attributes the adjustment to inflation, currency fluctuations, energy and labor costs, and growing customs, regulatory and security requirements. DHL says the annual increase will help fund upgrades to its global network, including fleet and facility modernization, digital and security capabilities, and more sustainable logistics. The hike follows similar 5.9-percent increases in the Philippines since 2025, after a 4.9-percent rise in 2024.
