What Is A Non Document Shipment?

• Generally, a commodity which is typed, written or printed matter with no commercial value is treated as document.
• Some companies consider CD-ROM’s with data as the documents and charge accordingly but some classify them as the non documents and charge them differently.
• In few companies five or fewer brochures are classified as documents while a shipment of more than five brochures are classified as non document.
• Companies won’t ask for invoice to deliver documents and charge according to the weight of the sample.
• In some cases if the commodity you’re shipping is a part of a commercial transaction or having a commercial value then it may be considered as a non document and requests for a invoice.
• It you are interested to know about the document commodities which require only DHL way bill then you can visit DHL website http://www.dhl.com/en/ti/country_profile/import_guidelines_express.html  which provide the list of goods which come under documents.
