What is Delivered Duty Paid?

Delivered duty paid (DDP) is a contractual agreement in which the seller assumes total responsibility for the transportation of goods purchased by buyers and all the costs associated therewith. This generally includes payment of shipping costs, tariffs, and taxes and other expenses involved in the delivery of the goods. Once a seller transports goods to the agreed destination, all the risks and responsibilities are transferred from the seller to the buyer.
