INCOTERMS 2010 |
This term can be used regardless of the chosen mode of transport, as well as when using more than one mode of transport.
"Delivered Duty Paid" means that the seller delivers when the goods are placed at the disposal of the buyer, cleared of customs duties required for importation, on the arriving means of transport, ready for unloading at the named place of destination. The seller bears all costs and risks involved in bringing the goods to the place of destination and is obliged to carry out the customs formalities necessary not only for export but also for import, pay any fees levied on export and import, and complete all customs formalities.
DDP places the maximum responsibility on the seller.
The parties are advised to specify the point at the agreed destination as precisely as possible, since the costs and risks up to this point are borne by the seller. The seller is advised to provide contracts of carriage that accurately reflect this choice. If the seller, under his contract of carriage, bears the costs of unloading at the agreed place of destination, the seller is not entitled to claim from the buyer the reimbursement of such costs, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
Parties are advised not to use DDP if the seller, directly or indirectly, is unable to carry out customs formalities for import (import clearance).
If the parties wish to transfer to the buyer all the risks and costs of customs formalities for import, it is advisable to use the term DAP.
Any VAT or other taxes payable on import are at the expense of the seller, unless otherwise expressly agreed in the contract of sale.
