Members Constabulary Posted September 28, 2021 Members Report Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) is an INCOTERM and basically means that everything is up to the seller - like door to door delivery with all risk at the seller and the costs of export is also up to the seller meaning they are paid at delivery.

Nothing else makes sense. ... I hope Ron will answer that himself, as his very clear statement rather surprised me. Quote

Thanks for explaining that. I guess that term is common in Europe (you're in Germany and Klara in France) but within North America I'd never heard it before. But then again, 95% of our (business) purchases are from within North America and not from overseas.

My response was to the OP in reference to purchases from the USA. This does not include purchases from Europe which are of course subject to import fees & taxes.

INCOTERMS are international meaning they are used in all countries worldwide when it comes to freight shipping / forwarding and the like (usually not in the plain postal business) but when a seller chooses DDP you as a recipient / private customer will never take note of it.

Thank you Ron for your clear answer. While I was on vacation, I finally found the “Harmonized Tariff Schedule” at https://hts.usitc.gov/current and it supports your statement. Others may peruse and confuse themselves with that document as desired. Tulsa Quote
