DHL Express, the global leader in international express services, has announced that it will implement its annual price adjustment in the Philippines beginning 01 January 2026. The rate increase for the country has been set at 5.9%, aligning with the company’s global strategy of adapting to inflation, regulatory requirements, and the evolving international trade environment.
Nigel Lockett, Country Managing Director of DHL Express Philippines, emphasized that the move is part of the company’s ongoing commitment to providing reliable services in the face of changing economic and geopolitical conditions.
“We remain committed to helping our customers navigate the complexities of the current global trade landscape, which has been significantly impacted by recent geopolitical shifts. With this annual price adjustment, we can continue to enhance our network’s resilience and adaptability, ensuring consistent support for our customers’ businesses irrespective of external factors,” Lockett said.
