Beware The DHL Unpaid Duty Scam: What You Need To Know
December 5, 2023 - The scam works by merely getting the phishing correspondence opened by recipients who don’t realize they have not actually signed up for a DHL delivery. These phishing messages are crafted to spur urgent action by claiming there is an issue requiring the recipient’s intervention before the shipment can be delivered. A common storyline is that the package has been held up because taxes, duties, customs fees, or processing charges are owed on the shipment. The messages stress the urgency of paying these “unpaid duties” right away or before an impending deadline for the shipment to be released and delivered.

How To Avoid Paying DHL Customs Fees in Canada - Self Clearing Packages - Going Awesome Places
For most people that don’t know how, you’ll feel like you won’t have a choice but to pay. However, in order for self-clearing to work, you can’t pay the charges and you also can’t accept delivery. The thing is, once you’ve paid, you’ve contractually accepted the DHL customs fees and there’s no way to reverse it. If you’re with another courier like FedEx that loves to deliver and then drop the “you owe us money” surprise in the mail later, refuse the delivery if they attempt it.

r/dhl on Reddit: What if I don't pay the import taxes for a product I don't want anymore?
September 4, 2025 -
DHL states that I cannot refuse the shipment before the courier is at my door. But what if there's an import tax on an international shipment and I don't want the product anymore?
Should I just not pay it and wait for it to be sent back to the seller? How long is the holding time?

You still owe it to DHL they have paid it to the government on your behalf. They will send your dept to collections if you don’t pay what you owe.

Contact the White House and let them know how you feel :) You're gonna get sent to collections even if you don't want it.

The DHL "Experience" | WatchUSeek Watch Forums
I have done business with this AD before (FedEx), and they are highly experienced in shipping to the USA, and ship stateside several times per week. DHL was in control of the package end-end. DHL customer support could not explain the delay nor the mystery additional 150 charge. I am required to pay before they will deliver, and so I will not pay, and the package will go back.

Documents Needed for Customs Clearance & Temporary Admission | ...
Customs won’t release your goods until the applicable regulatory charges are paid. Decide upfront who pays –shipper or receiver – and use fast payment options. Poor or missing labels, especially for hazardous goods, cause delays. Follow all packaging rules and ensure labels are clear and correct. If customs authorities or DHL request additional information or documentation and don’t receive a timely reply, your shipment can be delayed, so always respond quickly to any queries.
