Delivered duty paid» means that the seller delivers the goods to the
buyer, cleared for import, and not unloaded from any arriving means of
transport at the named place of destination. The seller has to bear all
the costs and risks involved in bringing the goods thereto including,
where applicable (Refer to Introduction paragraph 14), any «duty»
(which term includes the responsibility for and the risk of the
carrying out of customs formalities and the payment of formalities,
customs duties, taxes and other charges) for import in the country of
destination.
Whilst the EXW
term represents the minimum obligation for the seller, DDP represents
the maximum obligation. This term should not be used if the seller is
unable directly or indirectly to obtain the import licence.
However, if the parties wish to exclude from the seller's obligations
some of the costs payable upon import of the goods (such as value-added
tax : VAT), this should be made clear by adding explicit wording to
this effect in the contract of sale (Refer to Introduction paragraph
11).
If the parties wish the buyer to bear all risks and costs of the import, the DDU
term should be used. This term may be used irrespective of the mode of
transport but when delivery is to take place in the port of destination
on board the vessel or on the quay (wharf), the DES or DEQ terms should be used.
