Delivered Duty Paid (DDP)

Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) is an international shipping term where the seller is responsible for delivering goods directly to the buyer's location, covering all costs involved. This includes transportation, export and import duties, taxes, and customs clearance. Essentially, the seller handles everything until the goods arrive ready for the buyer’s use. DDP minimizes the buyer’s logistical concerns but requires the seller to manage all import procedures and expenses, making it the most comprehensive shipping arrangement in terms of seller responsibilities.
