In today's increasingly frequent global trade, how to transport goods from China to the US efficiently and safely while avoiding complex tariff and customs clearance risks is a challenge faced by many importers and sellers.
As a US importer, have you ever been frustrated by the complicated sea freight process? Worried about inaccurate tariff calculations, customs clearance delays, and cumbersome transportation procedures? Choosing DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) can solve all these problems!
As professional freight forwarders specializing in Sino-US logistics, we offer you a one-stop DDP sea freight service from Chinese factories to US local addresses. We take care of sea freight, customs clearance, duty payment, and last-mile delivery throughout the process, making your logistics transportation time-saving, effort-saving, and more worry-free.
What is DDP? Why do US Importers Prefer DDP?
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means "delivered duty paid", which is one of the most comprehensive terms in international trade. The supplier (or freight forwarder) is responsible for all aspects of the entire transportation process, including customs clearance, duty payment, and final delivery, until the goods are safely delivered to the designated address of the US customer.
Traditional logistics model: You need to handle customs clearance documents, pay tariffs, and coordinate local transportation on your own. The process is complex and prone to hidden costs.
Double-Clearance Sea-Express model: Fully managed with a low cost, but it involves misreporting, posing a high risk. It is not very suitable for high-value goods and is likely to lead to the forfeiture of goods due to inspections.
DDP model: Fully managed the same. You only need to provide information about the goods, and then you can wait for the goods to be delivered. It truly realizes "goods arriving across the US without leaving home". In terms of customs clearance, we will optimize the tax based on the goods information you provide, saving you trade costs. This model is both efficient and safe.
Advantages of Choosing the DDP Option for You
· No need to worry about US tariff calculations, tax disputes, or customs clearance delays.
· Save time and labor costs and focus on your core business.
· The entire process cost is transparent, avoiding hidden fees.
By choosing our DDP service, you will obtain the following core advantages:
1. Door-to-Door One-Stop Service, Full-Process Control, and Farewell to Cumbersome Procedures: From picking up goods at Chinese factories, packing, sea freight, to customs clearance at US ports, paying tariffs, inland transportation, and last-mile delivery, we provide seamless end-to-end services. You just need to provide the goods information and the destination address and leave the rest to us!
o China End: We handle all export formalities, including door-to-door pickup, warehousing and consolidation, customs declaration and shipping space booking.
o Sea Freight Segment: We have long-term partnerships with high-quality shipping companies such as EMC, MSC, MSK, COSCO, CMA, HPL, ZIM, ONE and so on. We offer various options such as express ships, regular ships, and slow ships to meet different time-efficiency and cost requirements.
o US End: We are responsible for port customs clearance, duty payment on your behalf, container pickup and last-mile delivery by truck. We cooperate with a network of local trucking fleets across the United States, covering all 50 states, including remote areas.
o Full-Process Visibility: Track the location of goods in real-time. Prepare customs clearance documents in advance before the goods arrive at the port to avoid port detention fees.
2. Professional Tariff Solutions, Saving Money and Ensuring Compliance: The US tariff policy is complex. Issues such as HS Code classification, anti-dumping duties, and Section 301 tariffs often trouble enterprises. Our professional customs clearance team will provide you with:
o Pre-assessment of Tariffs: We accurately calculate US import tariffs in advance based on the HS Code and the value of the goods, trying to avoid unexpected costs. We optimize the declared amount within a reasonable range to reduce tax costs.
o Compliance Optimization: Our professional customs clearance team reviews documents to ensure that the declared information is consistent with the actual goods, reducing the risk of inspections. We make rational use of US customs policies to save taxes legally and reduce costs within a controllable range for you.
3. Efficient Customs Clearance, No Delays: The US customs has strict requirements for documents. We are equipped with local customs clearance agents to ensure:
o Efficiency: We review documents such as bills of lading, commercial invoices, and packing lists in advance.
o After-sales Service: We monitor the customs clearance status 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and respond promptly to emergencies.
Our DDP service process is incredibly simple:
1. Consultation and Quotation: Provide a goods list (including product name, gross weight, volume, value, and destination port) to get an all-inclusive quotation including tariffs.
2. Goods Consolidation: Chinese suppliers ship the goods. We receive the goods in a timely manner and support LCL (Less than Container Load) or FCL (Full Container Load) transportation.
3. Booking and Shipment: Arrange the shipping schedule according to time-efficiency requirements.
4. Customs Clearance at the Port: We review the goods information in advance and prepare the relevant materials. Based on the specific goods, we submit the declared customs clearance amount with advantages, and can complete the customs clearance process in as fast as 24 hours.
5. Delivery to the Door: The goods will be delivered to the destination within 2-5 working days after customs clearance. After receipt, we will upload the electronic proof of delivery.
