DDP — Delivered Duty Paid

The meaning of it is that the delivery is completed for the supplier when the goods are delivered to the recipient, import duty paid and cargo ready for unloading at the indicated destination. DDP clause implies maximum obligations for the shipper, as opposed to EXW clause, where all shipping responsibilities are placed on the recipient. Recipient assumes only the unloading of goods on the spot and insurance of the goods at will. All other costs are transferred to the supplier (export and import payments, costs of transportation of goods) DDP is used to transport goods by any means of transport.
