Delivered Duty Paid (Delivery with payment of duties) means that the seller delivers when the buyer is provided withproduct, cleared of customs duties required for importation, on the arriving vehicle, ready for unloading at the named destination. 

DDP imposes maximum responsibilities on the seller. The seller bears all costs and risks associated with the delivery of the goods to the destination, and is obliged to perform customs formalities necessary not only for export, but also for import, pay any fees charged during export and import, and perform all customs formalities.

It is recommended that the parties determine the point at the agreed destination as accurately as possible, since the costs and risks up to this point are borne by the seller. It is recommended that the seller 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 destination, the seller has no right to demand from the buyer compensation for such costs, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

The parties are not recommended to use DDP if the seller is directly or indirectly unable to ensure the fulfillment of customs formalities for import (import clearance).

If the parties wish to impose on the buyer all the risks and costs of customs formalities for importation, it is advisable to use the term DDP.

VATor othertaxes, payable upon import, are carried out at the seller's expense, unless otherwise agreed in a clear form in the contract of sale.

DDP is convenient for the buyer because the exporter takes care of the organizational aspects of delivery and customs clearance of the goods, but the seller will still include all these costs in the cost of the goods. These conditions are very convenient for the buyer, since he knows the final price of the goods in his warehouse in advance at the stage of conclusion.
