Webinar: DDP in Practice: Commercial Advantages, Customs Risks, and Best Practices
Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) has historically been attractive to U.S. buyers because it provides a simple, door-to-door purchasing arrangement where the foreign supplier manages transportation, import clearance, duties, and delivery. However, today’s heightened U.S. trade enforcement environment makes it increasingly important for companies to understand who is importing their goods, what is being declared to CBP, and whether those declarations are accurate.
This webinar will provide a practical overview of:
- Why U.S. companies have traditionally preferred DDP and its commercial advantages.
- The pros and cons of DDP in international shipping.
- Trade compliance risks that may arise when purchasing goods on DDP terms.
- Why Incoterms® responsibilities and U.S. Customs legal responsibilities are not necessarily the same.
- Alternatives to DDP and best practices for companies that continue using DDP.
This webinar is exclusively available to ACD members.
