What is Delivered Duty Paid (DDP)?
Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) is an international shipping term that means we, as your printer (seller) take care of everything involved in getting your printed products to your door. That includes:
- International shipping
- Import duties and taxes
- Customs clearance
- Final delivery to your destination
In short, what you are quoted is what you pay – no surprise tariffs or hidden fees.
