Risks of DDP for exporters

DDP and DDU Differences between DDP and DDU trade terms

1. Compared with FOB/C&F, DDP is much more risky for the seller and is the most risky trade term. After shipment, the risk is transferred to the buyer according to FOB or C&F terms. But under DDP, the seller's risk exists until delivery to the customer. If there is any mistake in the goods, the seller needs to pay, so the seller of DDP had better handle the cargo transportation insurance, and if there is any problem, the seller can refer to the insurance company.

2. Compared with FOB/C&F, DDP sellers need to know whether there are any restrictions on the policies of the customs or other government departments of the importing country on such goods, whether certification is required and what the import tariff is. Before arriving at the port of destination, you should first understand the customs and then go through the formalities.
