Successor to Warenpost DE (V62WP)
DHL discontinued Warenpost (V62WP) on 31 May 2026. V62KP (DHL Kleinpaket) is the official successor. The connector automatically migrates existing V62WP configurations.
Auto-Upsizing
If you select a value added service (cash on delivery, insurance, etc.) for a V62KP shipment in the label dialog, the product is automatically upgraded to V01PAK — as these VAS are not available on Kleinpaket.
Ideal for tracked letters, small spare parts, or document shipments.

|---|---|
| Zone | International (worldwide) |
| Max. Weight | 1 kg |
| Max. Dimensions | 35.3×25×3 cm |
| Tracking | Limited |
| Insurance | None / minimal |
| Customs data | Required (CN22) |
| VAS available | Limited |
Cost-effective option for small international shipments (e.g., accessories, cables, small spare parts).
Automatic Product Selection
The Contract Resolver automatically selects the appropriate product:
- Check destination: Germany → Domestic product, EU → Europaket, Rest → International
- Check weight: ≤ 1 kg → possibly Kleinpaket/Warenpost, > 1 kg → Paket
- Check contract lines: Only products with an active contract line are used
Shipping Rules
Shipping Rules allow you to override products specifically — e.g., always use V01PAK instead of V62KP for certain item categories (to ensure insurance coverage).
