About DDP
Delivered Duty Paid, or its short DDP is a type of agreement between the buyer and seller in which the latter is responsible for all shipping fees and potential risks that may arise. As its name indicates, the seller pays all taxes and duties when the package arrives in the customer’s country. Although this shipping method is developed by the International Chamber of Commerce, every country may provide its own set of rules referring to DDP customs clearance.
DDP advantages
While at first sight, DDP shipping seems to be beneficial to the buyer only, the seller may also benefit a lot from DDP if handles it correctly. By delegating DDP customs clearance to a reliable service provider, like US inBound, the seller can expedite delivery and enhance the customer’s overall experience, which, in turn, results in increased profits. Proper DDP handling leads to shorter transit times and more accurate delivery estimates when shipping by air and sea.
ABC of DDP
DDP shipping is a complex process that involves several steps, including the following:
- A trusted carrier picks up the shipment, sharing the responsibility for the package with the seller.
- The carrier delivers the package to the customer’s country, where it must come through customs compliance.
- The shipment undergoes customs clearance procedures; and the value-added tax and other fees are charged.
- The customer receives the shipment and checks it for damage and compliance with the order.
As you may see, DDP shipping is complicated, so it’s better to leave customs compliance to US inBound’s professionals, who can handle it quickly and efficiently.
