What changes when you choose DAP delivery
Look beyond the freight leg to understand the destination handover, duties and receiving arrangements.
What DAP includes
With DAP the seller arranges carriage to the named place, while the buyer usually handles import clearance and duties. Confirm exactly where the shipment is handed over, and who is responsible after that point.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who pays the import duty on a DAP shipment?
As a rule the buyer is responsible for import clearance, duties and taxes. Confirm this in the quotation so it is not left to interpretation.
Where does DAP delivery end?
At the named place you agreed. Check whether unloading, an appointment or an inner-city leg is included before comparing totals.
