New Computerized Transit System (NCTS5) HS Code requirements
 

From 22 January 2025 the New Computerized Transit System – NCTS5 – requires a six-digit* HS Code per line item.

For all shipments with non-union and/or excise goods, the customer is required to provide electronic shipment data (MAWB + HAWB) with line-item goods descriptions and HS Codes. Please send data in CargoXML (xFWB / xFZB).

If your operating system does not allow for xFWB/xFZB messages to be sent, we will provide a free of charge platform where you can submit DHL Aviation prefix related shipment data in CargoXML. Contact ACS.Data.Quality@dhl.com if you wish to use this option.

*Ex Spain, eight-digit HS Codes are required.
