Shipping rates for pallet transport to Europe
The cost of pallet shipping within Europe depends on several factors, such as the destination and the number of pallets sent to the same address. The more pallets you send, the cheaper the rate. We offer a simple pallet rate, tailored to your shipping profile. That’s how we ensure transparency from the start.

Packing your pallets in four steps
Do you have a pallet ready? Time to wrap it up! With these four steps, your pallet is all set for its international journey.
- Ensure a balanced load. Make sure the weight and volume are well-distributed over the pallet and make sure nothing sticks out. This way you will avoid damages and surcharges.
- Place cardboard profiles around the four corners for extra stability.
- Wrap the pallet and load with stretch foil until tightly bound. Tip: a thicker foil doesn’t always mean a more stable load. Some thinner foils are sturdy and cheaper.
- Make sure the foil layers overlap so nothing falls out. Go for approximately 10 to 15 percent overlap for the best protection.
Questions about pallet transport?
Please take a look at our FAQs. You’ll surely find the answers you’re looking for.
How do I calculate the shipping costs for my international shipment?
The shipping costs for international packages or pallets depend on various factors such as weight, dimensions, destination, frequency of shipments, etc. Based on these factors, we always calculate a customized rate. Request your personal quote now.
Are there any additional costs to the shipping rate, such as import duties and VAT?
That depends on the terms of trade or incoterms agreed upon between you as the seller and the buyer abroad. Read more about the agreements in international trade and incoterms.
Do I need to include a customs invoice with my shipment?
When sending shipments to countries outside the European Union (e.g. Switzerland or Norway), you must enclose a pro forma invoice or a commercial invoice which are then used to carry out a customs clearance in the country of destination.
Can I also import a shipment from abroad via DHL eCommerce?
Importing a shipment is only possible within the Benelux. From other European countries, you can receive returns from consumers, but not actual import shipments.
What goods am I not allowed to ship with DHL?
You can send many things, but not everything. For safety reasons, we do not ship dangerous substances, products of extremely high value, fertilizers, etc. Check the full list of prohibited goods.
Can I insure my shipment?
We handle every shipment with the utmost care. At the same time, we understand that your valuable packages require extra assurance. You can easily take out transport insurance with DHL eCommerce at an attractive premium. Read all about it.
