Whether you’re a seasoned global seller or just starting to explore international e-commerce, familiarizing yourself with Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) and Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping is vital. These terms directly impact your operational processes, compliance with trade regulations, and customer experiences.
Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU):
When this service level is used, a customer initially pays only for shipping at checkout and is then required to settle any assessed duties and taxes upon importation to receive their shipment.
Delivered Duty Paid (DDU):
With DDP shipping, consumers pay for shipping as well as any applicable duties and taxes at the point of sale. This more streamlined approach means the seller assumes all responsibilities and expenses associated with transporting goods right to the buyer’s doorstep, including settlement of import duties, taxes, and other related charges.
