让我们从一个真实的故事开始
Back in early November of 2024, we had a client – a small shop in California that sells home décor stuff – freaking out trying to get ready for Black Friday. They'd just ordered 800 ceramic lamps all the way from a supplier in Foshan, China.
The supplier was super confident, pushing DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): Don't sweat the customs stuff or taxes, they said. We'll handle it all. Just chill and wait for the delivery.
Sounds ideal, doesn't it?
好吧,当货物在长滩卸货时,事情变得糟糕。一名海关人员因HS编码错误而拦下了灯具。修正这个问题的责任在于供应商,但集装箱在港口滞留了额外的四天。灯具及时送到了商店,但商店不得不支付额外费用以便快速分发。
这就是现实世界中的DDP – 易于使用,但这不是一个奇迹把戏。你仍然需要以正确的方式和正确的文件来做事情,以免造成延误。
What DDP Means in 2025 (and Why Importers Like It)
Delivered Duty Paid 是其中之一
Incoterms® 2025规则。用简单的英语来说,这意味着卖方处理一切——从他们自己国家的出口清关到进口清关和送货上门。
如果您是买家,您将收到准备出售的商品。如果您是卖家,您几乎承担了所有的风险和责任。

The DDP海关流程,逐步解析
让我们来分析一下DDP清关是如何为进口商运作的,以从中国到美国的货物运输为例。
1. 双重检查您的合同
在任何货物发运之前,请确保您和卖方就以下签署的合同达成一致:
- Clearly states Delivered Duty Paid based on Incoterms 2025.
- Includes the correct HS codes for each item.
- Spells out the delivery location and who pays for what.
2. 中国的出口清关
在中国,卖方需要准备这些文件:
- 商业发票
- Packing list
- Export declaration
Without these, your stuff is stuck.
3. 国际运输
You can choose between air freight if you need it fast, or sea freight to save money.
Pro tip: 很多供应商会将来自不同买家的货物进行合并运输,以降低运费成本。
4. 美国的进口清关
一旦到达美国,卖方(或其DDP报关代理)需要向海关和边境保护局(CBP)提交正确的文件。在这里搞错HS编码或产品描述是导致延误的常见原因。
5. 职责和税费
使用DDP,卖方在您的货物发货之前负责这些费用的支付。
6. 最终交付
从港口或机场,您的货物被转移到当地的卡车公司或快递服务,他们将其送到您的仓库或履行中心。
Documents You’ll Need for Smooth DDP Clearance
To keep customs officers happy and shipments moving:
- Commercial Invoice – Make sure your HS codes are right, give good product descriptions, and state the correct value and currency.
- Packing List – 包括箱子的数量、尺寸和重量。
- 提单 / 空运单 – 这是您货物存在的证明。
- Certificate of Origin –You'll need this for some trade perks.
- Import Licenses – Only needed if your product has rules.
- Tax Identification Number – For shipments to the U.S., this is usually an EIN.
💡 专业提示:在Dafey,我们在货物离开工厂之前与每位客户一起检查DDP清关清单。解决纸面上的问题比在港口解决要便宜得多。
常见的DDP运输陷阱(及如何避免它们)
Pitfall | 为什么会发生这种情况 | 修复它,避免伤害 |
HS code blunders | Guesswork instead of confirmation | Pay a licensed broker to verify |
Undervaluing goods | Trying to save on duties | Declare the real value—penalties aren’t worth it |
Missing licenses | Skipping research | Check rules before ordering |
Vague contracts | No clear division of duties | Write down who handles what |
DDP vs DDU — 选择适合的方式
如果您想要零海关烦恼和一份可预测的账单,DDP 通常是更好的选择——非常适合首次进口商或繁忙的亚马逊 FBA 卖家。另一方面,DDU 让买方负责进口关税和清关。如果您已经有一个值得信赖的报关代理,这可能是个好选择。

Maersk的指南says, DDP涵盖了直到包裹送达的所有内容。DDU(现在在国际贸易术语解释通则® 2020中称为DAP)意味着您在包裹到达时支付关税和税费。对于小型在线商店而言,DDP的可靠性通常优于您可能通过DDU获得的任何节省。
Real-World Run: 中国到亚马逊FBA
One of our kitchenware clients shipped 1,500 units from Yiwu to a Texas Amazon FBA center under Dafey’s DDP service.
- 4天用于出口清关
- 12天在海上
- 48小时用于美国海关
- 2天交付最终结果
他们没有收到一张意外账单,他们的内部团队在物流方面没有动一根手指。
DDP在2025年:值得关注的趋势
- Customs Checks Getting Tighter: Undervalued shipments are under the microscope.
- E-Commerce Growth: 更多卖家正在寻求全方位的DDP服务。
- Bundled Pricing: 一份涵盖运费、清关、关税和最终交付的报价正成为标准。
FAQ: DDP Shipping
Q1: 谁在DDP中支付关税?
The seller. That’s the defining difference from DDU.
Q2: Is DDP pricier?
大多数时候,是的。但请记住,它涵盖了所有这些清关费用、税费和关税,因此您不会在后期遭遇意外费用。
Q3: What if customs runs into a problem?
The seller's got to sort it out. Just know that this might cause things to slow down. Getting the paperwork right is super important.
Q4: DDP适用于所有情况吗?
No. Some countries have rules about what you can and can't bring in. Think booze or hazardous materials.
Q5: DDP和DAP有什么区别?
With DAP, the seller gets the stuff to you, but you have to pay any import taxes.
Q6: How can I ensure smooth DDP clearance?
与经验丰富的DDP运输提供商合作,解释海关关税和税费,并在货物离开之前审核所有文件。
Q7: Is DDP a good fit for Amazon sellers?
Yes—尤其是从中国到美国—因为它简化了交付和清关。
The Key Takeaway
DDP受到欢迎,因为它让买家免于处理海关的麻烦。但仅仅因为某件事是已付关税交付,并不意味着没有风险。要真正使DDP变得简单,您需要明确的协议、完整的文书工作,以及像Dafey这样的值得信赖的物流合作伙伴。
