What is the difference between a DDP & DDU
In the world of shipping, delivered duty unpaid (DDU) means that it is the customer’s responsibility to pay for any of the destination country’s customs fees, duties, or taxes. These must all be paid for customs to release the shipment after it arrives.
On the other hand, delivered duty paid means it is the shipper’s responsibility to pay any of the customs charges, duties, and taxes required to send the goods to the destination country
