4. Difference Between DDU and DDP Shipping Terms
Understanding shipping terms is essential in international logistics:
DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid)
- Seller is responsible for delivering goods to destination
- Buyer handles import customs clearance and pays all duties and taxes
- Buyer assumes import-related risks and costs
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) ⭐ Recommended
- Seller handles all logistics, customs clearance, and tax payments
- Goods are delivered directly to the buyer’s address in Houston
- Buyer does not need to handle any import procedures
