If you’re tired of chasing down customs brokers, recalculating duties mid-shipment, or fielding port delays you can’t control—LDP shipping may be what your supply chain needs next. At Dafey Logistics, we help importers simplify customs clearance by offering Landed Duty Paid (LDP) 服务that handle taxes, compliance, and documentation upfront. No surprises. No follow-ups. Just cleared, compliant cargo delivered on your terms.

Most freight terms focus on transport: EXW puts the responsibility on the buyer, FOB splits it at the port, and DDP covers everything to the door. LDP freight, by contrast, is designed for importers who don’t need last-mile delivery—but absolutely can’t afford customs delays.

许多客户最初选择了FOB或DDP。在经历了一次又一次之后，他们找到了我们：

What they wanted wasn’t just “shipping.” They needed one accountable provider to manage everything from factory to customs-cleared landing in the U.S.

That’s what LDP物流 delivers. We don’t just move boxes. We close the loop on compliance.

Under LDP terms, Dafey takes responsibility for:

The importer receives a 单一到岸成本，完全透明，没有后端惊喜。这不仅仅是关于简单性——这关乎成本控制、风险降低和更清晰的会计。

A mid-sized 深圳-based 家具出口商 was supplying multiple U.S. home goods chains. They initially shipped under DDP terms—until one quarter, they received three chargebacks due to “late arrival caused by clearance delay.”

The issue? They were using three different brokers across ports. ISF was filed late on two containers, and a minor HS code misclassification added $3,400 in unexpected duty to another.

After switching to Dafey’s LDP shipping from China to the USA, they saw:

They didn’t save on freight. But they saved two full-time logistics staff worth of headache.

While DDP shipping is ideal for last-mile eCommerce fulfillment, LDP freight solutions fit businesses who ship in bulk to 3PLs or distribution hubs and want clean handoff post-clearance.

Let’s talk paperwork.

LDP帮助您避免最常见的合规错误：

我们的团队会根据美国海关和边境保护局的要求对所有文件进行预验证。这意味着您不仅仅是在运输货物——您是在运输干净、合规的货物。这对于电子产品、服装和复合家具等受监管类别尤其重要。

Beyond logistics, LDP offers a finance advantage. When you know your landed cost per unit upfront, you can:

Several clients now integrate Dafey’s landed cost API directly into their purchasing systems. For one apparel supplier, this meant automated SKU cost updates tied to weekly LDP shipments, reducing manual input errors and variance.

Clearance delays don’t just hold your goods—they quietly drain your budget. Every extra day a container sits at port because a document was late or a duty wasn’t paid adds up. Storage and demurrage charges can exceed $200 per day, and they often aren’t discovered until after the invoice lands.

This is where LDP shipping earns its place. With all customs processes completed in advance—including ISF, duties, and documentation—your shipment is cleared before it even touches U.S. soil.

No hay espera. No hay tarifas acumulativas. Solo un movimiento predecible a través de un sistema que a menudo castiga la vacilación.

You should consider switching to LDP if:

But LDP isn’t for everyone. If you’re dropshipping, selling directly to consumers, or shipping irregular high-value cargo—DDP shipping or even CIF might be more appropriate.

📎 According toFlexport, LDP最适合希望获得可预测的到岸成本、简化合规性以及向商业配送中心交付的企业，而非个人消费者。

We’re happy to help you weigh the tradeoffs.

A: Yes. Under LDP, Dafey (or the seller) assumes that role and handles all import-related compliance.

A: 我们支持两者。对于高价值或时间敏感的货物，从中国到美国的LDP空运正在快速增长，特别是在电子产品和季节性时尚方面。

A: 服装、家具、消费电子产品，以及任何具有严格交付时间表或上架准备要求的行业。

在Dafey物流，我们已经超越了单纯的货物运输。我们的LDP服务旨在简化您的运营，保护您的利润率，并让您重新掌控您的运输时间表。

If you’ve had enough of chasing brokers and battling unpredictable fees, maybe it’s time to try something different.
