DDP scope reminderDDP generally places the main delivery and import obligations on the seller to the named place.Confirm exactly what the supplier quote includes, who is importer of record, and how local VAT/GST or recoverable taxes are handled in your market.

DDP to real unit cost

Delivered does not always mean
zero buyer cost.

A DDP quote can bundle more of the transport and import process into the supplier price, but the buyer may still have receiving, inspection, banking, local handling or other commercial costs.

Effective DDP cost / unit(DDP order value + buyer-side costs) ÷ quantity

Use the supplier's written quotation and local tax treatment when deciding whether every import-side charge is actually included.

delivered to a named place.

Use it when

Your supplier quoted DDP and you want to add buyer-side costs such as unloading, inspection, bank fees, storage or receiving costs that still affect your economics.

Check the quote scope first

Confirm the named destination, importer-of-record arrangement and treatment of VAT/GST or other taxes before assuming the supplier price covers every import-side charge.

Quick answers

DDP landed cost
FAQ.

Does DDP mean the buyer has no extra costs?

Not necessarily. Commercial costs such as receiving, inspection, payment fees, warehousing or internal delivery can still exist even when the seller handles the main import and delivery obligations.

Why should I confirm who is importer of record?

Because importer-of-record arrangements can affect documentation, tax treatment, compliance responsibility and whether a quoted DDP structure is workable in the destination market.

Can I compare DDP with FOB or CIF?

Yes, but compare all options at the same final delivery point and include every buyer-side cost that differs between the terms.
