How much does document delivery abroad cost

The price of document delivery abroad is not a single fixed amount: it is calculated based on the shipment's weight, destination country, tariff zone, and the chosen carrier. The most accurate way to find out the cost for your route is to use the calculator on our website.

What determines the cost

  • Weight and dimensions of the envelope or package.
  • Destination country and city—remote regions are priced higher.
  • Tariff zone to which the country belongs.
  • Carrier: DHL, FedEx, or UPS—rates and transit times vary.
  • Urgency: Priority delivery options cost more.
  • Additional services: Insurance, special packaging, and route-specific customs requirements.

Documents vs. Parcel—what's the difference for the rate

In courier networks, 'documents' are a separate category of shipment, typically weighing up to 2 kg: contracts, powers of attorney, diplomas, and certificates. Anything heavier or having a commercial nature is classified as a 'parcel' or 'cargo' (from 0.1 to 70 kg; heavier shipments — up to 300 kg and more — on request) and undergoes a different processing procedure.

This is why the same weight can have a different price: how the contents are classified matters.

How to check the price for your route

In the website calculator, select the destination, specify a weight up to 2 kg for documents, and the system will show the calculation based on current rates. If the route is non-standard or insurance is required, a manager will confirm the final cost after clarifying the details.

Calculate the cost of document delivery for your destination in the calculator—choose a weight up to 2 kg for documents.
