We also know how stressful international shipping can feel, especially when it comes to tariffs and unexpected fees. That’s why, since our founding over 20 years ago, MCRL has provided “all-in” quotes that are Delivered Duty Paid (DDP): a simple, transparent, and worry-free way to receive your custom printed products—without surprise costs or customs delays.
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.
