Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) refers to an International Commercial Term (Incoterm) in which the seller assumes full responsibility for all costs and risks associated with transporting goods to the buyer’s location. The DDP meaning in shipping includes expenses such as customs clearance, import duties and taxes, insurance, and any risks during transit. In the DDP shipping meaning, the seller handles every step until the goods arrive at the agreed destination, while the buyer’s only responsibility is to receive the shipment. This is especially appealing for beverage buyers as they won’t be held liable for extra charges such as demurrage costs.
