INCOTERMS 2020 · DDP · OPERATIONAL VALUE SHEET
DDP: unpack the delivered price before declaring it.
DDP puts import clearance and delivery obligations with the seller, but it does not choose the customs valuation method. Separate duty, import VAT and post-border transport from the evidence used to build the border value.
Use for any mode when the seller undertakes delivery at the named place and handles export and import clearance, including import duties.
Risk moves at the named destination when the goods are available to the buyer ready for unloading.
