On Open Orders page, you can choose DHL Express ship method on any international order, set the weight,  and click the "Ship" button to print the shipping label.

Commercial invoice & schedule B

After you printed DHL Express label(s),  Teapplix always automatically generates electronic commercial invoice.  If needed, you can also click on Print Customs Form button to print the Commercical Invoice.  And you can go to Batch History page to reprint the Commercial Invoices for all the orders in that batch.

A schedule B code is required for all invoice items with a value over 2500 for a single commodity.

In order to include the schedule B code on the Commercial Invoice, you need to set the Harmonized Tariff Code for your products in ActionShip.  You can go to the Products page, either manually edit a product SKU or use file bulk import.

Pickup

You can schedule pickup for free on History => Batch History page using "DHL Express Pickup Request" button. After you've pressed it, ActionShip will schedule pickup at DHL Express side for you. If current time is earlier than 2:00 p.m. request will be scheduled to today. Otherwise - on next day. In case of successful result you should receive message like this:

Pickup address setup

By default Actionship will setup schedule pickup by using the from address in the shipping profile used to print your shipping label. If you have multiple shipping profiles with different from addresses, and each printed DHL Express labels that day, then we will generate a different pickup request per address.

If you do not want to pickup from the "From" address on the profile, you can set a different pickup address per shipping profile on Integrations => Carriers => DHL Express page. When you do this, the pickup will happen on that address instead.
