What is DDP shipping, and is it the same as door-to-door?+−
DDP means Delivered Duty Paid. Our DDP service combines delivery to the agreed address with export and import clearance and handling of import duties and taxes. Door-to-door on its own does not specify who pays those taxes. Confirm DDP and its full scope in your written quotation.
Does the recipient pay import duties on arrival?+−
For approved cargo booked under our confirmed DDP quote, we handle import duties and customs taxes. The recipient does not pay those included charges again at normal delivery. Share any unloading, access or special delivery needs before booking so the complete scope is agreed in advance.
What is the minimum weight for DDP air and sea shipping?+−
DDP air shipping has no minimum shipment weight. DDP sea shipping starts at 12 kg. A shipment's price still depends on the product, package dimensions, weight and destination. Send the packing details for a quote.
Which countries do you serve with DDP shipping?+−
Our priority destinations are the USA, Canada and Europe; Australia is also available. Send the specific country, postcode, address type and goods so we can confirm route coverage and acceptance.
Can you ship batteries, cosmetics or branded goods by DDP?+−
Declare all batteries, including those installed in electronics, plus cosmetics, liquids and powders before dispatch. We review the product, packing, documents and route; a specialist channel may be required. Provide requested MSDS/SDS and UN 38.3 battery documents. Our channel review requires valid authorization for branded goods. Wait for acceptance before sending cargo.
Can individuals use DDP for furniture and home purchases?+−
Yes, businesses and personal buyers can request DDP quotes. Send product photos, supplier locations, packed sizes and weights, and the residential postcode. Confirm truck access and unloading needs. Oversize or over-limit goods are not accepted through standard DDP channels; indoor delivery, upstairs handling and installation are not automatically included.
How much does DDP shipping from China cost?+−
Request a shipment-specific quote with the product, declared value, carton dimensions, weight and destination postcode. Confirm the billing basis, import duties and taxes, pickup and delivery scope, and any requested extras. A freight-only rate is not a comparable DDP quote.
How long does DDP air or sea shipping take?+−
We confirm estimated timing for the approved route and cargo before booking. Ask whether the estimate runs from warehouse receipt, departure or another point, and whether it includes clearance and final delivery. Flight or sailing time alone is not the door-to-door delivery time.
Does DDP mean I do not need to provide customs documents?+−
No. Provide an accurate invoice, packing list, product description and value, plus any requested product or battery documents. Confirm the importer of record and required authorizations for the destination. DDP does not bypass customs checks or product requirements.
