DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) Shipping – Service Update

Understanding the difference between DDU and DDP

When selecting a DDP option in your shipping instructions/charge 2, you may see in the Charge 2 Summary a field called "Import Duties". Specifically, this includes:

• Any ordinary import duties applied to imports coming into your country.
  • These may sometimes be referred to as Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) tariffs or Ordinary Customs Duties. 
  • "Non-ordinary tariffs" are charged under "Other Taxes and Fees"

How Import Duties & Taxes Are Calculated

Import duties and taxes are not a fixed percentage.

They are calculated based on factors such as:

• HS (Harmonized System) codes

• Item category and material

• Country of origin

• Declared value

• Local customs regulations

Because of this, the final amount may differ by item, even within the same shipment.

US-Specific Information

For US-bound shipments, additional tariffs or taxes (such as IEEPA-related measures) may apply depending on the item category.
