Track and get real-time status updates for DK shipments.
DK is the trading name of Yongkang DK International Freight Forwarding Co., Ltd., which presents itself in Chinese as 东阔国际 (Dongkuo International). Its offices are in Zhejiang province in eastern China: one in Yongkang and one in Yiwu, the wholesale and export hub that supplies a large share of the world's small consumer goods. The two letters are simply the initials of Dongkuo. They are not a reference to Denmark, whose country code is also DK, and that coincidence is one of the more common reasons people end up on the wrong tracking page.
The company is a freight forwarder rather than a delivery company. Its own site organises the business into ocean freight, air freight, express and overseas warehousing, with warehousing in the United States and Canada, FBA transfer, re-labelling and fulfilment for cross-border sellers, alongside customs clearance and arrangement of the final delivery. It says it works with more than forty carriers across more than a hundred countries, and quotes a five to seven day transit on its United States lane.
That structure explains why a DK reference so often returns nothing. A forwarder books the space and hands the goods to whichever carrier actually flies or drives them, and the scans belong to that carrier's number rather than to the forwarder's internal job reference. Only a small minority of DK references entered on the 24hTrack platform ever produce tracking events; the rest behave exactly like internal consignment references. If yours returns nothing here, that is the expected result rather than a fault, and the quickest fix is to ask the seller or shipper for the number of the carrier making the final delivery.
Ships for: Cross-border e-commerce sellers shipping from Yiwu and Yongkang, Amazon FBA sellers moving stock to US and Canadian warehouses, Importers booking ocean or air freight with customs clearance
Tracking number format: Most references begin with the letters DK, though there is no single format to match — the length varies and some carry a longer DK prefix. A reference in this form is often an internal job or consignment reference rather than a carrier tracking number

DK stands for Dongkuo — 东阔 in Chinese — the short form of Yongkang DK International Freight Forwarding Co., Ltd., a freight forwarder based in Zhejiang province, China, with offices in Yongkang and Yiwu. It is worth saying clearly that DK here has nothing to do with Denmark, even though DK is also Denmark's country code. If your parcel is moving between China and North America or Europe, the Dongkuo forwarder is the one you are looking for.
Usually because it is not a carrier tracking number. DK is a freight forwarder: it arranges the shipping and then hands the goods to an airline, shipping line or delivery company, and it is that company's number which collects the scans. The reference a seller passes on is frequently DK's own internal job or consignment reference, which is not published to any tracking network — this one included. Only a small minority of DK references show events here. Asking the seller for the number of the carrier performing the final delivery is what actually makes the shipment traceable.
No. Yongkang DK International Freight Forwarding Co., Ltd. is a forwarder and warehousing operator, not a company with its own delivery vans at your door. Its own site describes ocean freight, air freight, express and overseas warehousing, including warehousing in the United States and Canada, FBA transfer, re-labelling and customs clearance. The final delivery to an address is carried out by a separate carrier, so the tracking that shows door-level scans belongs to that carrier.
Most DK references begin with the letters DK, but there is no single reliable format: the length varies between references and some use a longer DK-based prefix. That inconsistency is itself a clue — a carrier operating its own network normally issues one fixed format, whereas a forwarder passes along whatever reference its own paperwork produced. If the number you have does not resolve, it is very likely an internal reference rather than a trackable carrier number.
It depends entirely on the mode booked, and DK sells several. Its own site quotes five to seven days on its United States lane, which reflects an air-based service; ocean freight on the same route is measured in weeks rather than days, and goods held in an overseas warehouse only start moving to the customer once the seller releases the order. Customs clearance in the destination country adds time that no carrier controls. Because the forwarder's reference usually shows no scans, the realistic way to see progress is to obtain the final carrier's tracking number from the seller.
