To ensure smooth processing and the fastest possible transit times for all shipments passing through our automated network, DHL Express imposes strict weight and dimension limits. Accordingly, the following limits apply for shipments to be accepted on the DHL Express network:

1. No shipments where the greater of actual and volumetric weight exceeds 2,200 pounds (1,000kg); No pieces where the scale weight exceeds 660 pounds (300 kg);
   (Note: The global palletized .pdf shows 2200 lbs so we’re changing it to align)
2. No shipment pieces with any dimension greater than 118 inches (300cm). DHL Express account holders with questions about these limits should contact their account manager.
