Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU)

Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) is an Incoterm that means the seller is responsible for delivering the goods to the buyer's country, but the buyer is responsible for paying the import duties and taxes. The seller is also responsible for arranging for the transportation of the goods to the buyer's country.

The DDU Incoterm is often used when the buyer is located in a country with high import duties and taxes. This is because the buyer can save money by paying the import duties and taxes themselves.

However, the DDU Incoterm can also be used when the buyer does not want to be responsible for arranging for the transportation of the goods. In this case, the seller will need to arrange for the transportation of the goods to the buyer's country.

Here is an example of how the DDU Incoterm would work:

A seller in the United States is selling goods to a buyer in Canada. The seller agrees to ship the goods to the buyer's address in Canada. The buyer is responsible for paying the import duties and taxes on the goods. The seller is also responsible for arranging for the transportation of the goods to Canada.

The DDU Incoterm is a good option for this transaction because the buyer is located in a country with high import duties and taxes. The buyer can save money by paying the import duties and taxes themselves.
