Service overview
A practical choice starts with the cargo—not the service name
DDP can simplify procurement when the buyer needs one coordinated workflow, but it is not automatically available for every product, country or importer situation. QIFLY checks cargo eligibility, customs responsibility, tax treatment and delivery constraints before confirming scope.
Available service paths
Choose the operating model that matches the shipment
Availability and final scope depend on the route, cargo, carrier and written quotation.
Sea DDP
FCL or LCL transport with destination customs and inland delivery scope.
DDU / DAP
Coordinated delivery where the consignee remains responsible for import duties or taxes.

Questions to settle before booking
Final answers depend on the shipment and written quotation.
01Does DDP include duties and taxes?+
Only when the quotation explicitly says so. The quote must define tax, duty, importer and exception responsibilities for the specific shipment.
02Can every product ship DDP?+
No. Eligibility depends on the commodity, destination rules, importer structure and available compliant service path.
03What happens if customs inspects the cargo?+
Inspection time and charges are handled according to the written quotation. They are commonly excluded unless specifically included.
