Creating DHL eCommerce Manifests

It is required to manifest DHL eCommerce shipments each day. Without a manifest, DHL will not be able to process the shipment.

  • Separate requests are not necessary to create international and domestic manifests. You can create a manifest from a single request. Multiple manifests will be received back if there are multiple shipment dates, multiple origins, or multiple destination types (international vs. domestic).

  • Up to 500 shipments can be put onto a single DHL manifest. If there are more than 500 shipments, ShippingEasy will automatically return multiple manifests.

  • When submitting a manifest request, it will manifest all DHL shipments that have not yet been manifested.
