1、What is DDP and How Does It Work?
DDP is an Incoterm that shifts the highest level of responsibility to the seller. Under DDP, the seller takes care of everything that involves the shipment, including packing and loading goods, clearing customs, taking care of all duties and taxes, and delivering the goods to the buyer's location. This allows the buyer to sit back and relax as goods are delivered without its complex logistics and legal nuances.
With fixed cooperation with shipping companies and airlines for the first leg journey, Guangdong Axin Logistics Co., Ltd ensures that goods are transported timorously and reliably. For instance, FBA air/sea freight requires the company to identify and work with carriers that have an exceptional reputation, quality service, and reasonable pricing. Once the goods arrive in the destination country, local cooperation partners come into play. They have adequate knowledge of the local customs regulations and are able to deal with customs clearance including document submission, payment of duties and taxes, and other relevant processes. The ease in which the first leg partners transfer responsibilities to the last leg partners is what sets Inc. apart in providing DDP services alongside other logistics providers.
2、 Advantages of DDP for Cross Border Buyers
Easier Step- By - Step Procedure
When it comes to cross- border purchases, international shipping and customs clearance are simplified with the DDP method. Buyers do not face the challenges of foreign customs regulations, hiring customs brokers or taxes and duties that need to be settled post arrival. This is most advantageous for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as they often do not have the necessary guidance or resources. For example, an e-commerce startup in Europe that orders inventory from China will not be left focusing on internal business functions like customer support and marketing. Instead, the entirety of the shipping process is covered under DDP by Axin Logistics in Guangdong.
Predicting Future Expenses
The buyer has a clear understanding of purchase expenses and all logistics costs, including shipping, customs, and duties that need to be paid. Thus, budget forecasting and cost management are far easier. Guangdong Axin Logistics is able to provide very competitive rates for DDP shipments because of their cost - reducing approach. The company is able to reduce costs by combining several shipments and obtaining good rates from local carriers and partners. This is especially beneficial in the uncertain global market where spending varies unpredictably.
Further Ease of Use
Guangdong Axin Logistics DDP services are exceptionally convenient because they are door to door. The buyer does not need to arrange for further transportation from the port or customs clearance point to final destination. The company can deliver both small bags and large scale FBA shipments straight to the buyer's specified location. DDPs are especially beneficial for businesses that have to manage inventory on very short notice, as they do not have to worry about deliveries arriving with DDP.
