Does DDU require the seller to go through customs clearance formalities

First of all, you can.

For the commonly used term, whether it is FOB or CIF or CFR, as long as it is by sea, the responsibility of the freight forwarder is only to transport the goods to the port of discharge (i.e. Port of discharge) and unload the goods from the port of discharge, regardless of where the goods are unloaded and then transported, which is the customer's own business.

But for DDU, the seller must be responsible for transporting the unloaded goods to the place designated by the customer (inland point, etc.), and bear all the costs and risks before, including port of destination miscellaneous charges, customs clearance costs, inland transportation costs, etc., of course, the costs and liabilities are equal. Note, however, that DDU** does not include customs duties.

According to the terminology, under the DDU terminology, the customs clearance of the import is handled by the exporter, that is, the seller. It's just that the tax is paid by the buyer.

DDU: Delivery Duty Unpaid. Generally, it means that the seller is only responsible for transportation, customs clearance at the port of destination, and customs clearance by the customer at the port of destination.

DDP: Delivery Duty Paid. The seller is responsible for the whole process costs and customs clearance, and the buyer is only responsible for receiving the goods.

DDU stands for Delivered Duty Unpaid, which means that the seller is responsible for all costs from the factory to the buyer's door point except customs duties. Then it means that the seller is still responsible for customs clearance, and the buyer is responsible for customs duties!

Both DDU and DDP customs clearance formalities and fees are the responsibility of the seller.

The only difference is that the tariff DDU is the responsibility of the buyer and the DDP is the responsibility of the seller.

DDU is Duty Unpaid Delivery, which means that the seller is still responsible for customs clearance.

The seller shall bear all costs and risks (excluding customs duties, taxes and other official charges payable at the time of importation) of the goods to the designated place. Import customs clearance procedures and costs shall be handled and borne by the buyer.

Customs clearance procedures and import tax payment still need to be arranged, the customs clearance fee is paid by the ** business, and the imported goods of course need to go through the customs declaration.

Dizzy, they have already arrived at the factory, indicating that all the formalities have been completed! It's been cleared! You can use it with peace of mind!

The DDU clause is unpaid customs clearance; That is to say, customs clearance is the responsibility of foreign countries; Taxes and domestic delivery fees are your own responsibility;

Whether customs declaration is required depends on whether the goods have paid import tax, and if the tax has not been paid, then it must be declared to the customs.

According to the rules of the customs, if the tax is not paid, the goods should still be under the supervision of the customs, and the customs can be asked to inspect the goods in your warehouse.

The DDU is called "Delivery Duty Unpaid", under which the buyer is responsible for providing the necessary certificates for import clearance, formalities, payment of customs duties and VAT, and unloading of the goods. All other costs, including those incurred during the import clearance process, shall be paid by the seller.

The 2010 General Principles for the Interpretation of International ** Terms deleted the DDU, DAF, DES, and DEQ in Group D terms, and only retained the DDP;

Two new terms have been added, which are dat and dap

DAP is similar to the replaced DDU term, which means that the seller delivers the goods at the specified destination and only needs to be ready to unload the goods to complete the delivery without unloading. The term refers to the arrival vehicle including the vessel and the destination includes the port.

According to paragraph B2 of the DAP term description in the 2010 International Terminology Interpretation Principles:

The buyer is responsible for all customs formalities when importing the goods.

So at this time, the import customs clearance fee is the responsibility of the buyer.

DDU, all costs of customs clearance, including delivery to the consignee's home address, are the responsibility of the seller.

DDP, all costs of customs clearance including delivery to the consignee's door address are also the responsibility of the seller, who is also responsible for import duties, VAT, excise tax, etc.

Duty-unpaid delivery, in addition to the taxes and fees of the importing country, you have to bear. In contrast to DDP, only taxes are not calculated.

There are many costs incurred in customs clearance, such as BAF, CIF, trailers, port miscellaneous fees, etc. These are all counted.

The only thing that can be done is to quickly find a **company to let them**, the sea ship owner will not accept such an order.

DDU includes import formalities such as customs clearance at the port of destination and land transportation to the destination, but is not responsible for import duties.

IncoTerms 2010 has replaced the DDU term with DAP.
