Good morning everyone, I received this message as a DHL customer this morning: Dear customers and business partners,we are pleased to inform you that shipping with DHL Paket International to the USA and Puerto Rico will generally be possible again from September 25, 2025.The following must be taken into account in future when placing orders and transmitting data:Complete and correct customs data for all shipments – in particular the customs tariff number / HS code (at least 6 digits) and the country of origin for each itemMandatory booking of the service „Postal Delivered Duty Paid” (PDDP) for shipments up to and including 800 USD goods value (previously duty-free)For shipments up to and including 800 USD goods value, the PDDP service allows you to cover all import charges for the recipient. By using the service, the new U.S. customs conditions are met at the same time. No additional costs will be incurred by the recipients upon delivery.The price for the PDDP service to the USA is 2 EUR per shipment. In addition, the duties charged themselves and the service provider’s fees – the so-called „Qualified Party” – will be passed on to you without surcharge. The fees of the „Qualified Party” amount to 0.39 USD plus 2.5% of the import duties charged. For the calculation of duties, the „Qualified Party” uses the „ad valorem” method.For shipments with a goods value over 800 USD, booking the PDDP service is not possible. The recipient will continue to pay the applicable charges upon delivery of the shipment, as before.From 1.10.2025, we are also lowering the price for the destination countries Norway, Switzerland and Great Britain already available for PDDP to just 2 EUR per shipment.More info at: www.dhl.de/us-versand and www.dhl.de/pddpSince the Warenpost International product does not implement the now mandatory PDDP service, shipping with this product is still not possible.Please note that the data requirements in customs destinations are currently very dynamic and that further changes may arise at short notice for shipping to the USA or to other customs destinations. These could require further adjustments to our processes and yours.Thank you for your understanding and patience during this transition period. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact your sales representative. I assume Ebay has received identical information and hereby ask @miriam@ebay and @patrick@ebay to explain the further procedure here at Ebay to us as soon as it has been clarified internally.Especially regarding the PDDP procedure, since customs duties and fees in the USA vary from country to country, unless that has changed !
