Definition
What DDP Means
DDP stands for Delivered Duty Paid — under Incoterms, the seller (us) bears all costs and risks until the goods are delivered, cleared for import and duties paid.
In practice, DDP air freight means you receive a single quotation at the start. It includes collection from your supplier, consolidation in our Shenzhen warehouse, Chinese export declaration, the air freight to your destination, import customs clearance, all duties and VAT, and final-mile delivery to your door. You do not need a local import licence, a local broker, or cash waiting at the border — the cargo simply arrives, cleared and ready to use.
DDP is especially popular with FBA sellers, traders and small importers who want predictable landed costs. See how pricing is built on our pricing guide.

Dual clearance
Dual-Clearance (双清) Explained
"Dual clearance" is the common China-to-CIS/Asia term for a service where both export and import formalities are arranged by the forwarder in one booking.
On our Ukraine and Poland lanes, dual clearance means we manage the Chinese export declaration and the destination import clearance together. This is the option buyers without a local import licence choose most often, because it removes the need to appoint a separate customs broker at either end. Every consignment is handled strictly within the laws of the origin and destination countries — we never promise clearance of prohibited goods.
