The shipping cost for sending a DHL Express shipment from China to India can vary based on several factors, including:

1. Package Dimensions and Weight: DHL calculates shipping costs based on the greater of the actual weight or volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is calculated using the formula:

2. Origin and Destination: Costs can differ depending on the specific cities or regions within China and India.

3. Service Level: DHL offers various service levels such as DHL Express Worldwide, DHL Express 9:00, DHL Express 12:00, etc. The faster the delivery time, the higher the cost.

4. Additional Services: Services like insurance, remote area delivery, or customs clearance assistance can add to the cost.

Estimated Cost Range:
For a standard document or small package (less than 0.5 kg) sent via DHL Express from China to India, the cost typically starts at around $30-$50 USD. For larger packages (up to 5 kg), the price can range from $50-$150 USD.

Example:
- A 1 kg package from Beijing to Mumbai might cost around $40-$70 USD depending on the factors mentioned above.
- A 10 kg package could range from $100-$200 USD.

How to Get an Accurate Quote:
To get an exact price, you can use the DHL Express rate calculator on their official website or contact DHL customer service directly. You'll need to provide the package dimensions, weight, origin, and destination details.
