Never use DHL, Try UPS for delivery

DHL was to have delivered a package from Turkey. They asked me to provide them with an invoice otherwise customs will not release the package. Previously, UPS delivered items to me without a problem. Upon enquiry, they were lackadaisical and made no effort to resolve the problem. Go with UPS.

Dear Fozia,

Thank you for taking the time to post to us.

Please be advised that a commercial invoice is required for customs clearance as prescribed by law, in order to make due entry when importing goods. Please take note of the 2 points below:

a) Section 39(1)(c) requires the importer to produce documents including an invoice. 
b) In terms of Section 40 a Customs declaration (among other requirements) will not be valid if a correct and sufficient invoice, as prescribed, is not available on request. 

Please do let me know if you require further assistance on the matter and I will gladly assist. 

Kind Regards, Akhona MvuzaCustomer Care Executive Office DHL Express ZA
