INCOTERMS

DAP shipping from China to Germany

Under DAP, the seller organises transport to the named destination. The buyer generally handles import clearance, duties and import taxes. The precise handover is recorded in the order.

01

DAP makes import responsibility visible

The German buyer can incorporate its EORI, tariff classification and tax treatment directly into the import process. This can offer operational and accounting benefits for experienced importers.

02

Do not confuse delivery with unloading

DAP generally provides delivery ready for unloading at the named place; unloading is not automatically the seller’s responsibility. Access, tail lift, time windows and unloading assistance should be agreed beforehand.

03

From the factory to the customs handover

We coordinate pickup, origin operations, main transport and delivery, and align import clearance with the named importer and customs participants.

PRICING & PROCESS

Service-provider fees, official charges and import duties are three different cost types. Customs duty and import VAT are never silently included in a service flat rate.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The specific goods and transport structure may require a different assessment. We review your individual case.

Who pays customs duties under DAP?+

Generally the buyer or importer. The contractual and payment arrangements should be documented explicitly.

Is DAP door-to-door?+

DAP can provide transport to a named address, but allocates import obligations differently from DDP.
