What is DDP?

Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) is where the sender pays all customs duties and fees before shipping goods into the destination country. This is a much better option for your EU customers.

  • Lower costs compared to DDU by avoiding extra administrative costs in customs.

  • Quicker delivery times by reducing the chances of your parcels being held at customs.

  • Happier clients by avoiding any nasty surprise custom charges and offering them a great experience when buying from UK sellers.

 

How do I use DDP?

If import VAT has not been paid at point of purchase (Import-One-Stop-Shop) then you will be able to select the DDP option when booking an order on selected services.

 

What are the benefits of DDP?

DDP provides a faster, cheaper and better experience when sending parcels from the UK to EU by reducing administrative customs cost and ensuring no surprise charges for the recipient.

 

Will I need an IOSS number to use DDP?
