DHL is well known for its ability to offer services worldwide, including to countries such as [[Iraq], Afghanistan and Myanmar. As it is German-owned, DHL is not affected by U.S. embargoes or sanctions and will ship to Cuba[3] and North Korea. Starting in 2006, Deutsche Post World Net launched its First Choice initiative, which is being rolled out to all DPWN business organizations. The First Choice initiative has the goal of improving the way DHL and its parent company DPWN communicates with its customers, as well as strengthen customer loyalty and increase the efficiency and quality of all products and services offered. As a foreign company, DHL is not allowed to make domestic flights between U.S. airports, so these freight flights are contracted out. DHL may require some international recipients to pay any customs charges into proof of payment provided, before package delivery can be completed. Such cases may involve a physical journey to the DHL bank and/or the local DHL office, although the recipient can opt to pay for the charges of the delivery at their premises.
