Our Alcohol Export Program Helps Businesses Grow
In addition to the benefits listed above our program offers the capability to connect you with businesses in other states who are unable to offer alcohol shipping internationally. With your approval we will post your business information in our e-newsletters and on our website as an approved DHL Express Alcoholic Beverage Shipper. Businesses in other non-approved states are then able to contact you to process their international alcohol order and shipment. As one of our valued clients, this is a free service that we are pleased to offer you.
