DAP Customs Clearance
DAP, which stands for Delivered-at-Place, shipping puts all potential risks and costs on the seller until it arrives to the customer. US inBound will shield you against all those risks and pitfalls by handling your DAP customs clearance and professionally managing every step of your supply chain, from package pickup to last-mile delivery.
About DAP
During Delivered-at-Place shipping, the seller takes on all risks and losses that may arise till the shipment arrives at the place mentioned in the agreement. In contrast, the buyer pays all the import duties and applicable taxes once the package is delivered to the specified destination. The customer must also provide the documents required to complete customs clearance, including, but not limited to, the proof of payment and import permits.
DAP advantages
In essence, DAP is similar to DDP shipping, benefiting the customer with near zero risks of losses upon delivery and the seller with no need to undergo customs clearance since it’s the customer’s responsibility. However, in practice, this requires employing a reliable customs broker to oversee all import registration procedures to ensure quick shipment processing and avoid delays, which may appear if the procedures are managed improperly.
