We offer two international shipping options for customers in the United States: Standard Shipping (DAP) and Delivered Duty Paid (DDP). It’s important to understand that U.S. import tariffs and customs duties are not included unless you specifically choose the DDP option.
Standard Shipping (DAP – Delivered At Place)
Under the standard DAP option:
- Import tariffs are not included
- Customs duties and taxes are not included
- Brokerage or clearance fees are not included
These charges are assessed directly by U.S. Customs and Border Protection when the shipment enters the country. The carrier will contact you if any payment is required before delivery. We do not collect or control these fees.
DDP Shipping (Delivered Duty Paid)
If you prefer a fully inclusive service, you can select DDP.
With DDP:
- All U.S. import tariffs and duties are paid in advance
- Customs clearance is handled by the carrier
- Your order arrives with no additional charges at delivery
Because DDP includes all import-related costs, it is priced differently from standard shipping.
Summary
- DAP (Standard Shipping): Tariffs and duties not included. Customer pays any import fees upon arrival.
- DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): Tariffs and duties included. No extra charges at delivery.
If you’re unsure which option is best for your shipment, feel free to contact us for assistance.
