DDP Shipping from China — Door-to-Door Delivery with Customs Clearance
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping from China means we handle everything: freight, export customs, import clearance, duties, taxes, and final delivery to your door. One partner, one invoice, zero surprises — that is the XCJD DDP promise.
Whether you are an Amazon FBA seller restocking inventory, an importer launching a new product line, or a trading company consolidating supplier shipments, DDP eliminates the hidden costs and customs headaches that eat into your margins.
What Is DDP Shipping and Why Does It Matter?
Under Incoterms DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), the seller bears all costs and risks of transporting goods to the named destination, including import duties and taxes. In practice, this means:
- You pay one fixed price upfront. No surprise customs bills, port storage fees, or demurrage charges after the shipment arrives.
- We own the customs risk. Our licensed brokers in the USA, Europe, UK and Brazil handle classification, valuation, and clearance — so your goods do not sit in port waiting for paperwork.
- You focus on selling. While competitors chase customs agents and couriers, your inventory moves from factory to FBA warehouse or customer door on schedule.

Frequently Asked DDP Questions
What is the difference between DDP and DDU?
DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) means the seller delivers to the destination but the buyer pays import duties and taxes. DDP means the seller pays everything. Most importers prefer DDP because they know their total landed cost upfront with no surprise bills at customs.
