What is DDP shipping from China?
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping involves the seller transporting goods to a designated location in the buyer’s country and paying the import duties; this service covers inland transportation from the point of import to the buyer’s delivery address.
As most sellers cannot independently manage the entire DDP process, they typically rely on freight forwarders to handle cargo pickup, transportation, customs clearance, duty payment, and final delivery, charging an all-inclusive price.

DDP Shipping from China Costs & Delivery Times
DDP shipping from China is a door-to-door freight service for importers who want one clear all-in process instead of managing freight, customs clearance, duties, paperwork and final delivery separately. Your cargo is picked up from the supplier in China, shipped by air, sea, rail or truck, cleared at destination, and delivered to your address. For most shipments, DDP air shipping takes about 2–6 days, while DDP sea shipping usually takes 20–50 days.
The estimated DDP shipping cost is typically around 5–15 USD/kg by air and 65–180 USD/CBM by sea, depending on cargo type, weight, volume, HS code, shipping method, customs conditions and delivery address. Air DDP is best when speed matters; sea DDP is better for heavy or bulky cargo. Because the final DDP price changes by shipment details, an all-in quote is the most reliable way to know your real door-to-door cost before shipping.
