DHL Scraper for Surcharges, Price Lists, Service Points and Tracking

DHL fuel surcharge, demand surcharge and Paket price fields

Most DHL price data sits in tables that change on a timetable, so every row we deliver carries the division, country site, currency, unit and effective period it was published for. DHL surcharges also differ by site: the German Elevated Risk list includes Israel and the US list does not, and the Restricted Destination lists part ways on Cuba and Zimbabwe.

• Express surcharges: name, description, basis (per shipment, per piece, per pallet) and amount for Dangerous Goods, Dry Ice, Consumer Goods ID8000, Remote Area Delivery and Pickup, Elevated Risk, Restricted Destination, Address Correction, Data Entry, Overweight Piece, Oversize Piece, Non-Conveyable Piece and Non-Stackable Pallet, with the country list behind each risk charge.
• DHL fuel surcharge: the percentage per week or calendar week - export and import on the US site, Air and Road on dhl.de, where it is the DHL Treibstoffzuschlag - plus the index ladder behind it: US Gulf Coast jet fuel or diesel in dollars per gallon, averaged over 20 working days, in 0.25-point steps, and the list of charges the percentage also applies to; DHL Aviation adds a cargo fuel charge ex Hong Kong in HKD per kg, short-haul and long-haul, weekly while jet fuel stays above USD 100.99 a barrel.
• Demand surcharge: amount per kg or per lb of billing weight for each origin and destination region - China and Hong Kong, South Asia, Asia, Oceania, Europe, Americas, Middle East and North Africa, Rest of the World - flat rates for Day Definite and domestic services, and the dates the period opens and closes.
• Paket price lists: product from Paeckchen S to the 31.5 kg Paket, maximum dimensions, liability, online price against outlet price, add-on services such as pick-up, age check, cash on delivery and bulky goods, and zones 1 to 8 for sending abroad from Germany.
• Energy and eCommerce fuel: the DHL Energiezuschlag on national business parcels, a monthly long-term component plus a short-term one that can move on the 1st, 11th and 21st, and DHL eCommerce fuel in dollars per pound, domestic and international, reset each month.

Negotiated account rates stay behind MyDHL+ and business logins, so the data shows the published shelf, not one contract.

DHL locations, Packstation lockers and tracking for your own shipments

The second large dataset is the network. The DHL location finder on dhl.de, branded DHL Finder, covers DHL Packstation and Poststation machines, Paketbox drop boxes, post office branches, DHL Paketshop partners and carrier-neutral DeinFach lockers, and DHL itself currently counts more than 19,000 Packstations and Poststations. Across Europe and in Express markets the same records describe each DHL service point, locker and drop-off counter.

• Locations: name, type (service point, post office, Postbank branch, locker, PO box, postbox), Packstation number, street, postal code, city, coordinates, opening hours per weekday, holiday closures and services - parcel pick-up and drop-off, QR-code drop-off without a label, returns, Express drop-off, letter service, Postident, age verification, cash on delivery, parking - plus average locker capacity by weekday in Germany. Refreshed monthly with change records, it becomes a DHL database of the network.
• Your own shipments: for each DHL tracking number you supply, service, origin and destination, DHL tracking status group, event text, timestamp and location, estimated delivery window, product and pieces. DHL Express tracking recycles waybill numbers, so piece IDs keep old and new shipments apart; the DHL proof of delivery signature stays out.
• Notices: title, country site, division, effective date and affected services, from a Middle East operational update or the end of the EUR 150 duty exemption for EU imports to Global Forwarding advisories on the Red Sea.
