DDP shipping from China to the USA: clearance, taxes and delivery
Our confirmed DDP service includes export and import clearance, import duties and taxes, and delivery to the agreed US address, without repeat collection of those included charges at normal handover. Air has no minimum shipment weight; sea starts at 12 kg. Confirm the actual goods and US ZIP code before shipping, along with any unloading, indoor or upstairs delivery needs.
Compare the whole quote, from pickup to handover
Ask for a written service scope rather than comparing the international freight charge alone. Confirm which of these items are included, excluded or subject to the final cargo details:
- Supplier pickup, receiving and consolidation
- Packing, crating, storage and export handling
- International freight and destination handling
- Customs coordination, duties and taxes, and the responsible parties
- Final delivery, appointment, liftgate and unloading arrangements
- Any requested cargo insurance and its terms
A US ZIP code is only the start of delivery planning
Tell us whether the destination is a business, residence or fulfillment facility. For a home delivery, explain truck access, unloading equipment and whether you need an appointment or liftgate. Door-to-door does not automatically include carrying goods upstairs, indoor placement or installation. Hawaii and other non-contiguous destinations need their own route and delivery confirmation.
