DDU:
Refers to the seller completing customs clearance procedures at the designated destination, delivering goods that have not yet been unloaded on the delivery transportation vehicle to the buyer, and completing the delivery.
Precautions for DDP:
(1) Under the delivery conditions of DDP, the seller delivers the goods at the designated destination after completing export customs clearance procedures, which actually means that the seller has transported the goods into the domestic market of the importing party. If the seller has difficulties directly handling import procedures, they can also request the buyer's assistance in handling them. If the seller cannot directly or indirectly obtain an import license or handle import procedures, the DDP term should not be used.
(2) If both parties are willing to exclude certain fees that need to be paid for the import of goods, such as value-added tax, from the seller's obligations, a sentence should be added to this meaning, such as "Delivered duty paid, value-added tax unpaid (insert designated destination)", to make it clear.
(3) The buyer is responsible for unloading the goods from the arriving transportation vehicle at the designated destination, but the seller must ensure that the goods are available for unloading. When signing a transportation contract, the seller should pay attention to the coordination of the delivery location related to the transportation contract and the sales contract. If the seller incurs unloading costs at the designated destination according to the transportation contract, unless otherwise agreed by both parties, the seller has no right to demand compensation from the buyer.
(4) Due to the seller bearing the risk of delivering at a specific delivery location, both parties should clearly specify the delivery address of the designated destination as much as possible, preferably to a specific point within the designated destination. If a specific delivery point is not agreed upon or cannot be determined, the seller may choose the most suitable delivery point for their purpose at the designated destination.
(5) The seller has no obligation to enter into an insurance contract with the buyer, but due to the risk of the entire transportation process being borne by the seller, the seller usually avoids the transportation risk of the goods through insurance.
