DHL offers worldwide services, including deliveries to countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and Myanmar. As it is German-owned, DHL is not affected by US embargoes or sanctions and will ship to Cuba[24] and North Korea.[25][26] However, there are strict codes for delivering to North Korea, as the country has shaky relations with the West.[25]
As DHL is not a US company, it is not allowed to make domestic flights between US airports. DHL contracts these services to other providers
