DDP

Incoterms

Delivered Duty Paid

The seller delivers the goods to the named destination with import clearance, duty and tax already paid.

In practice

Maximum obligation for the seller. Often impractical because the seller may not be able to act as importer of record or recover local GST/VAT. Many sellers offer DDP but actually mean DAP plus duty billed back.

Seen in the wild

DDP Sydney. Seller's forwarder acts as importer via a customs broker.

Watch out

DDP GST is not recoverable by a foreign seller in most countries. Quote DAP with duties for buyer's account unless you have a local entity.
