What is DDP?
An Incoterm that puts zero logistics burden on the buyer
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) is an international trade term where the seller handles everything — transport, insurance, customs, duties, taxes, and final delivery. The buyer receives parts at their door with complete cost transparency. No hidden charges. No logistics surprises.
DDP MEANS
The price you see
