DDP FAQ

DDP FAQ

We will discuss the most common questions that are asked when discussing DDP Incoterms.

What is the difference between DDP and DAP?

In DDP, the buyer is only responsible for the cost of unloading. The seller must pay all other shipping charges, duties and taxes. According to DAP Incoterms, the seller is only responsible for freight charges. The buyer is responsible for all duties, duties and taxes related to the goods.

Who pays the freight of DDP?

In a DDP agreement, the seller of the goods is responsible for all transportation costs, as well as customs clearance, import duties and VAT. Essentially, the seller pays all the costs associated with delivering the goods to the buyer. It is important to note that the buyer is responsible for any costs associated with unloading the goods.

Does DDP include customs clearance?

In a DDP agreement, the seller of goods is responsible for customs clearance, including import duties or VAT. When buyers purchase products under this Agreement, they are not responsible for the costs associated with customs clearance.

Is DDP a good idea when importing from China?

A DDP agreement can be useful if the company is willing to pay a premium for low quality transport and does not want to split the purchase cost between the supplier and the transport company. There are better ways to ship from China, such as FOB, with lower costs and less risk of shipping delays and uncontrollable problems.

What payment terms does the factory need when delivering DDP?

Incoterms are different from payment terms. Thus, sellers can request any type of payment terms for their orders.

In China manufacturing, some factories require the buyer to pay in full when the goods are shipped, while others require final payment after the goods are cleared.

Can DDP shipment be rejected on arrival?

In theory, yes, but buyers need to know what their purchase contract says. In addition, the seller will usually demand some form of payment before the goods arrive, in which case, if the buyer refuses to accept the goods, they are likely to lose the deposit.

Who is the consignee and importer recorded in the DDP shipment?

It depends on the destination country. At the time of shipment to the United States, usually the seller is listed in the records as the importer and the consignee will be the final consignee of the goods.

Which party clears customs according to DDP?

The seller is responsible for customs clearance under DDP agreement. The name of the seller or the name of the entity they use to facilitate formal entry will be listed as the importer of record. DDP also stipulates that the seller must pay all duties, so if shipped via DDP, the buyer will never be liable.
