Plan your DDP shipping from China with a clear delivery scope and one point of contact. TJ China Logistics coordinates your supplier, freight, import arrangements and final delivery. Share your cargo details to discuss a workable shipping plan.
DDP means Delivered Duty Paid. Under this Incoterms rule, the seller handles transport, export clearance and import clearance, including applicable duties and import taxes. Delivery takes place at the agreed destination, with the goods ready for unloading.
For your purchasing team, the practical benefit is planning the shipment through to its receiving address. Freight, import costs and delivery requirements can be considered together before you commit.
TJ China Logistics connects your supplier, carriers and customs representatives around that plan. You have a central contact for shipment questions and the next steps. The seller’s DDP obligations remain defined by your sales contract.
Import clearance and tax payment must be arranged before final release. Exact procedures depend on the destination and cargo.
A workable DDP plan connects these six activities. Your quotation records how each part will be handled.
Give us your supplier’s contact and cargo-ready date. We coordinate collection and loading details, so your purchasing team has a clear pickup plan.
We review invoice and packing information for the export handoff. Missing descriptions or inconsistent quantities are flagged before dispatch, giving your team time to resolve them.
We compare available options against your cargo, budget and receiving deadline. You can review the selected service and routing before booking.
We help identify importer, authorization and document requirements before the goods leave China. Document handoffs are coordinated with the destination customs representative.
Under DDP, the seller bears applicable import duties and taxes. We explain the payment process and quote assumptions, so you can review how import charges are addressed.
We coordinate the final delivery leg to the agreed address. Appointment requirements, vehicle access and unloading facilities are discussed before dispatch.
Not sure whether DDP fits your shipment? Share the product and destination with us. We review the import arrangement before booking. Local rules may limit a foreign seller’s options; where DDP is not workable, we can discuss an alternative.
A low main-carriage rate does not describe the whole delivery cost. Compare quotes using the same cargo details, delivery point and import arrangements.
The shipment’s value, classification, origin and destination affect the duty and tax assessment. Packaging dimensions and delivery access also affect logistics charges.
Tell us the cargo details and delivery postcode. We will review the freight, import and delivery scope for your quotation. Changes to the cargo or destination may require a revised quote.
A logistics quotation does not include your purchase price unless expressly stated. Your landed-cost budget also needs the cost of the goods.
Start with your product, cargo size and destination. We will identify any further details needed for the quote.
We set out the scope, assumptions and quote validity in writing. Your sales contract continues to define the seller’s DDP obligations.
Both terms can bring cargo to an agreed address. The main distinction is responsibility for import clearance and its costs.
| Responsibility | DDP · Delivered Duty Paid | DAP · Delivered at Place |
|---|---|---|
| Transport to the named destination | Seller arranges and pays. | Seller arranges and pays. |
| Export clearance | Seller’s responsibility. | Seller’s responsibility. |
| Import clearance | Seller arranges and pays. | Buyer arranges and pays. |
| Import duties and taxes | Seller bears applicable charges. | Buyer bears applicable charges. |
| Delivery and risk transfer | At the named destination, import-cleared and ready for unloading. | At the named destination, ready for unloading. Buyer carries import-clearance responsibilities. |
| Unloading at destination | Buyer unloads. Check whether unloading charges are included in the seller’s carriage contract. | Buyer unloads. Check whether unloading charges are included in the seller’s carriage contract. |
| Before choosing the term | Confirm the seller can fulfill the destination’s import requirements. | Confirm the buyer can arrange import clearance and duty payment. |
Specify the named delivery point and Incoterms edition in your sales contract. See the ICC Academy’s DAP and DDP guidance for the underlying rules.
Door-to-door describes the delivery coverage. DDP and DAP allocate responsibilities between seller and buyer. A door-to-door booking alone does not establish who pays import taxes. Keep the sales contract and logistics instructions consistent.
DDP is a delivery term, not a transport mode. Service availability depends on the route, commodity and import arrangement.
Consider FCL or LCL for planned stock movements and larger volumes. Allow for port handling, clearance and the destination delivery leg.
Consider air for urgent commercial cargo or high-value replenishment. Airport handling and final delivery still need to be planned.
DDP can suit purchases where the seller agrees to manage delivery through import clearance. Tell us how your business receives goods. We can then plan collection, freight and the destination handoff around those requirements.
DDP may not fit when the seller cannot legally complete import formalities. A buyer with an established import setup may also prefer DAP.
Tell us about any controlled goods, missing product records or unclear importer details. We will identify what needs review before booking.
Discuss DDP for my shipment
Start with the information you already have. We work through these details with you before confirming the quotation and booking.
Pickup address, supplier contact, packing status and the expected cargo-ready date.
Full destination address, postal code, receiving hours, access restrictions and unloading facilities.
Product description, materials, use and proposed HS code. Identify batteries, liquids or controlled items.
Carton or pallet count, individual dimensions and gross weight. Note stackability and special handling.
Commercial invoice, declared value, currency and packing list. Product records must match the actual goods.
The seller’s DDP commitment, eligible importer, customs representation and duty payment process.
Use accurate product information from the outset. The destination’s requirements determine which additional documents are needed.
Seller and buyer details, product descriptions, quantities, values, currency and agreed delivery terms.
Package counts, marks, contents, dimensions and weights that match the shipment.
Materials, intended use, product photos and proposed HS codes for review.
Legal entity information, required registrations, authorizations and delivery contact details.
Required permits, certificates, test reports or origin evidence for the specific goods and destination.
Battery specifications, safety data and any required dangerous goods transport documents.
A proposed HS code is a starting point for review, not a guaranteed customs classification. Missing records can affect acceptance and clearance.
Your purchasing team needs a clear plan and practical answers. We coordinate the parties handling your shipment and keep the next steps clear.
Share your supplier’s contact. We follow up on cargo readiness, packing and pickup details, bringing the shipping questions into one coordinated plan.
We flag missing descriptions and inconsistent shipment records before handoff. Your team can address these issues while the cargo is still being prepared.
We discuss receiving hours, appointments and access alongside the main freight leg. These details become part of the delivery instructions.
Your team has a central contact for supplier questions, carrier updates and delivery arrangements. We coordinate follow-up with the relevant handling party.
We explain the delivery scope, import arrangements and pricing assumptions. You can raise questions about inclusions and exceptions before booking.
We communicate reported exceptions, the information needed and available next steps. Your team can respond with the shipment context in view.
Send your product details and destination. We will help assess DDP suitability and discuss the next steps with you.
Bring your supplier, freight and receiving requirements into one conversation with TJ China Logistics.
Some requirements need their own preparation. Review the services relevant to your delivery arrangement.
Coordinate clearance documents, customs representation and questions about the import process.
Review end-to-end delivery coverage and the handoffs from supplier collection to the consignee.
DDP places transport, export clearance and import clearance obligations with the seller. This includes applicable import duties and taxes. Our logistics quotation sets out how collection, freight, clearance coordination and final delivery will be arranged.
No. Door-to-door describes the collection and delivery coverage. DDP defines responsibilities between seller and buyer, including import clearance and taxes. Door-to-door transport can also be arranged under other terms, including DAP.
The seller bears applicable import duties and taxes under DDP. The payment mechanism must be confirmed for the destination. A courier’s billing instruction alone does not determine the sales contract’s delivery term.
The shipment still needs an eligible importing party under the destination’s rules. DDP does not remove registration, authorization or product compliance requirements. We clarify the proposed import arrangement before booking. We do not assume TJ China Logistics or the receiving warehouse can act as importer.
No. Importer eligibility, local rules, cargo restrictions and service availability determine whether DDP is workable. Batteries, liquids, food, medical products and other regulated goods need specific review. Share full product details before agreeing to collection.
DDP does not define a transit time. Timing depends on the freight mode, routing, cargo readiness, clearance and final delivery arrangements. We provide a shipment-specific estimate after reviewing those details. Customs examinations or missing documents may change that estimate.
The DDP rule can be used with different transport modes. Whether we can arrange it depends on the route, goods and destination import process. We review those conditions before recommending a service.
The DDP rule does not itself require an insurance policy. The seller still bears the delivery risk allocated by the rule. Cargo cover must be discussed separately, including the insured party, goods, route and exclusions.
DDP delivery is normally completed with the goods ready for unloading at the named place. The buyer handles unloading. Confirm whether the carriage contract includes unloading charges. Tail-lift service, appointments, inside delivery and warehouse handling need explicit instructions.
Yes. Start with your product, approximate cargo size and delivery destination. We can discuss the shipment and identify the information still needed. Accurate values, packing details and import arrangements are required before we can confirm the quotation and booking.
Send your product description, cargo size and delivery postcode. TJ China Logistics will review the shipment and help define a workable DDP arrangement.
