Delivered Duty Paid, explained simply
DDP is a shipping term where the party arranging the shipment is responsible for getting the goods to the destination, including import clearance and the payment of duties and taxes.

Chat on WhatsAppWhat is DDP shipping from China to Pakistan?
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means the full cost of getting your goods to Pakistan is arranged as one service: freight, customs clearance, import duties and taxes, and delivery to your address. You receive the goods without handling each step yourself.
How is DDP different from DAP or CIF?
With CIF you pay for freight and insurance to the port, but import clearance, duties and delivery are still yours to arrange. With DAP the goods are delivered to your address but you pay import duties and taxes. With DDP those duties and taxes are handled as well.
Do I pay duties and taxes separately?
Under our DDP service, duties and taxes are handled for you and shown in your quote. The final amount depends on how customs assesses your goods, so we confirm the assumptions with you before shipping.
How long does DDP shipping from China to Pakistan take?
Sea transit to Karachi Port or Port Qasim is typically around 20–30 days port to port. Allow extra time for pickup, loading, customs clearance and delivery inside Pakistan.
Is DDP more expensive than a freight-only quote?
A DDP quote covers more, because it includes clearance, duties, taxes and delivery. Comparing it with a freight-only quote is not like for like; compare it with your total landed cost instead.
Can DDP be used for both LCL and FCL shipments?
Yes. DDP is a way of arranging the shipment, so it can be combined with LCL for smaller loads or FCL for a full container.
What information do you need for a DDP quote?
A description of the goods, HS code if you have it, quantities, cargo value, carton sizes and weights, supplier location and your delivery address in Pakistan.
Which documents are needed?
Commonly a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and, where applicable, a Certificate of Origin and permits. Accurate invoice values and HS codes matter because duties are calculated from them.
Can you deliver to my address in Pakistan?
Yes. After clearance at Karachi Port or Port Qasim, we arrange delivery to the address you agree with us, including cities such as Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.
What if the duty amount changes at clearance?
Duties are assessed by customs based on the value, HS code and rules in force at the time of clearance. We explain the assumptions in your quote and talk to you first if anything changes.
