DDP Shipping · Delivered Duty Paid to Los Angeles

DDP shipping with one all-in price

Delivered Duty Paid means we quote freight, duties, taxes, customs clearance, and delivery as a single number. You pay once and the goods arrive at your door. No port charges, no duty bill, no surprise invoice three weeks later.

Why DDP makes landed cost predictable

Under DDP the seller side of the shipment takes on the cost and the risk all the way to your door, including the import duty. For a brand or Amazon seller, that turns a pile of variable fees into one landed cost per unit you can build your pricing around.

DDP only works when the classification and the declared value are right, because the duty is part of the price. We check the product, the HS code, and the invoice before we quote, so the number holds when the cargo lands. Tariffs change often. When they do, we tell you before your next order ships, not after.

What’s included

  • One quoted price covering freight, duties, taxes, clearance, and delivery
  • HS classification and duty review before the quote is issued
  • Ocean, air, and express DDP options
  • Delivery to your warehouse, a 3PL, or Amazon fulfillment centers across the LA basin and the Inland Empire
  • Clear documentation of what the price includes
  • Advance notice when tariff changes affect your next shipment

How it works

  1. Send the product details. Product, quantity, weight, carton size, supplier location, and destination.
  2. We classify and price. We confirm the HS code and duty, then quote one delivered price.
  3. We ship and clear. Freight, customs entry, and duty payment are handled on our side.
  4. You receive. The goods arrive at your door with nothing left to pay.

Built for businesses that import on a schedule

We work with brands, Amazon sellers, wholesalers, retailers, and manufacturers that bring in shipments regularly, most often from China. That is where our door-to-door service pays off: we plan the freight, clear customs, and deliver, shipment after shipment. See who we work with.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between DDP and DAP?

Under DAP (Delivered at Place) the goods are delivered but you pay the import duty and taxes yourself. Under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) those are included in the price we quote.

Is DDP more expensive?

The total is usually similar, because the duty has to be paid either way. What DDP changes is certainty: you know the full landed cost before you order.

Can you ship DDP to Amazon FBA?

Yes. We deliver DDP to Amazon fulfillment centers with cartons labeled and prepared to Amazon requirements.

Who is the importer of record under DDP?

It depends on how the shipment is set up and on the product. We explain the options and the compliance responsibilities before you commit.
