The Authorized Agent Difference

What does "DHL Express Authorized Agent" actually mean?

DHL Express has a tiered partner program. Authorized Agents are companies with a formal, contracted relationship with DHL Express that allows them to set up official DHL accounts for qualifying businesses — at pricing structures negotiated at a level most individual businesses can't access on their own.

When you come through Empact Parcel, you're not working with a broker or a DHL reseller. You receive a real, official DHL Express account number. You can call DHL directly, use DHL's systems, and access DHL's full global network. The difference is purely in the pricing structure your account is tied to.

That pricing structure is what makes the program worth it.

What you get
  • Official DHL Express account in your company name
  • Exclusive enterprise pricing (not standard DHL direct rates)
  • Full DHL Express global network access
  • DHL Express customer service — unchanged
  • GoGreen carbon-neutral shipping included
  • Empact Parcel as your dedicated account layer
What doesn't change
  • Your operations — nothing changes day-to-day
  • DHL's transit times and reliability
  • Full access to DHL's tracking and billing systems
Qualification

Who is this program designed for?

The program is built for US businesses currently using UPS or FedEx for international parcel shipping — importers and exporters who want better economics without operational disruption.

Importers

Your overseas suppliers ship to you on UPS or FedEx

If your freight arrives from international suppliers on their UPS or FedEx accounts — and you're eating the cost through product pricing or cost-sharing — there's a better path. We establish your DHL Express account, you share the account number with your overseas suppliers, and they start shipping through DHL. Simple transition. Better economics from day one.

Exporters

You ship internationally from the US on UPS or FedEx

If you're booking your own outbound international shipments on UPS or FedEx, we can move that volume to a DHL Express account with exclusive enterprise pricing. Exporters manage everything through ShipBoss — our client portal for quoting, booking, and tracking DHL Express shipments. Full visibility. Simplified billing.

Manufacturing & Industrial

High-value components, MRO parts, and finished goods moving internationally.

E-Commerce & DTC

Cross-border fulfillment at enterprise pricing without the enterprise volume.

Specialty & Food

Temperature-sensitive or perishable goods requiring fast, reliable international transit.

FAQ

Common questions about the DHL Express Authorized Agent program.

What does a DHL Express Authorized Agent do?

An Authorized Agent has a formal relationship with DHL Express that allows them to establish official DHL accounts for qualifying businesses at exclusive enterprise pricing — rates that aren't available when signing up directly through DHL's standard channels.

How is this different from signing up with DHL directly?

Going direct gives you a standard DHL Express account at pricing based on your own volume. Coming through Empact Parcel gives you an official DHL account tied to our exclusive enterprise pricing — a fundamentally different pricing structure.

Is this an official DHL Express account?

Yes. You receive a real, official DHL Express account number in your company's name. You can call DHL directly, use DHL's systems and tracking, and access DHL's full global network. This is not a reseller arrangement.

Do I need a minimum shipping volume?

There's no hard published minimum. Qualification is based on your shipment profile — lane mix, frequency, and current carrier. We assess each business individually. If you're currently spending meaningful dollars on international shipping with UPS or FedEx, it's worth having the conversation.

How quickly can I get set up?

After pricing confirmation, account setup typically takes 24–48 hours. Importers can immediately share their DHL account number with overseas suppliers. Exporters get ShipBoss portal access to start booking shipments right away.

What support do I get after setup?

Dual support: you retain full DHL Express customer service access as a standard DHL account holder, plus a direct line to Empact Parcel for account-level issues, escalations, and ongoing program guidance.
